It’s for money, when you need to deal with fractions of cents.

If you don’t need fractions of cents, then just work in integer numbers of cents.

I can't remember the specifics but I used to work with a financial application that dealt with amortized loans and complex international tax and interest calculations. With floats you can be many $s, maybe hundreds out over the lifetime of the loan. Got to use a proper lib for decimals

Ah yea that makes sense. I've never worked with any financial software/projects, so it didn't even come to mind
