# To paraphrase Wikipedia, most currency pairs are quoted to four decimal
# places. An exception to this is exchange rates with a value of less than
# 1.000, which are quoted to five or six decimal places. Exchange rates
# greater than around 20 are usually quoted to three decimal places and
# exchange rates greater than 80 are quoted to two decimal places.
# Currencies over 5000 are usually quoted with no decimal places.

# I had originally opted to round smaller numbers simply to five decimal
# places but introduced this refinement to handle an edge case where a
# lower-rate base currency like IDR produces less precise quotes.
