Sure, why not? > The reason why is I'm receiving the Decimal value from another program, if I > already know that the value will be a Decimal why test it? Well, why are you testing it? What was the motivation for your original question? It's fine to right a test that verifies that the other program is doing what you expect. That's all any passing test really does, is verify expected behaviour. The benefit is that if the behaviour ever changes your test will fail and you will find out.
