This comes as a big surprise to me. I always thought the docs
definition 
(http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Internal_Data_Formats#The_Currency_type)
implied the FPU wasn't used.
I wonder how that didn't turn out on the rare times I used the
Currency type. I'm glad I never worked with banking/financial systems
