You can’t just keep adding decimals and more 9s that is not how mathematics works.
This is what I said. Adding decimal places implies adding more numbers past the 0.01, so 0.011, 0.0111
Those are effectively the same number when it comes to how monetary values are rendered. When you say moving the decimal to the right you are talking about removing decimal places which is what they will do.
Adding a decimal place means adding more places after the decimal, not moving the decimal to the right, that is reducing decimal places. If you move the decimal to the right enough times you are eliminating the fractional decimal altogether.
In a theoretical sense, yes you can keep adding more decimal places but that is not changing the effective price just making the number on the sign larger in terms of physical space to accommodate more digits. Back to my original statement $9.999 = $10
I took that to mean “what if the .10 cent becomes the penny” which is not changing anything I see where we were talking past each other now. Either way yes we are going to see that happen most likely and once all those signs change it will trigger a new acknowledgement in consumer perspective. Once that happens we are paving the way to ever higher diesel prices which will have knockon effects for the entire economy. Apologies for the confusion.
Yeah that is what I was saying… And that is what they will do.
You said you can’t, though?

That’s odd, because I definitely wasn’t saying they should add more decimal places. I said
And had no idea why you brought it up, so then I clarified by saying they’d move the penny into the 9/10ths spot

💕 Yeah I meant the 9/10th location stops representing 9/10ths of a penny, and becomes 1 penny. 9.999 is gone, now it’s 10.00
This conversation is watching wizards have miscommunication on their magical glyphs when you have dyscalculia
I cast round up to the nearest dime! Your pennies are now worthless and will be sent to The Graveyard.
Pretty much lol
