Actually I take that back, those bids might just fail.

   * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by specifying an amount
     of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to any bid on that
     auction.

My memory is that we have something on the cfj books where "amount of a
currency" is inherently in the units of that currency and excludes numbers
outside of that?

Is "common sense" here that they fail (because it's not an amount of an
actual currency) or that they round up and thus loophole the unique bid
part?  I think "fail", personally.  Minimum bid increments are a thing in
"common auction definitions" and if the regs don't specify a minimum
increment, 1 currency unit is a reasonable understanding.
