I've no idea where you got 128 bits from, nor 28 > digits. C# is where it can come from: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/decimal.html In general, however, it is not a fault of C# or the poster; it is easy to make the mistake with most other numeric types derived from binary representations. It is a trap for a user to provide floating point inexact types defined by restriction of an exact rational type.
