Out of curiosity, does anyone know the highest integer value at which Eu atoms are still stable for integral amounts. I might have to write a conversion program, which deals with monetary values, for my company and I'd rather avoid having to use a bignum library, if at all possible. A Eu integer maxes out at a billion, right? So if each integral represents one cent the integer would be useful for values up to $10 million. How much higher is the limit using atoms?

There is another reason to use a bcd math system: it gives the answer that humans expect when they do math.
