[LRUG] Prices and Precision

[Dan Webb]

Ive been working on and off on a money plugin for Rails that's pretty
well developed now.  It's got currency conversion, reliable maths and
support for active record money fields.  Its not really public but if
you want to have a look then:

I use it in nearly all of my projects.
