Hi Marnen,

thanks for the reply. I am aware of Bignum and understand how Ruby does the 
translation transparently from Fixnum. I was just seeking more knowledge outside 
my current understanding of Ruby.

I had imagined there might be a class Currency =), again just wanting to know 
what's available to me through Ruby.
