Delphi Basics - Currency Command

The Currency type in Delphi is designed for financial applications and supports 4 decimal places of precision. Values with more than 4 decimals are rounded up or down. The example code shows account amounts being rounded and then added together, displaying the results as currency strings. While Currency provides precision for monetary calculations, very large values may lose precision with string conversion functions.
