The decimal currency (1$ = 100 cents) was introduced in the US almost 220 years ago. But the stock exchange switched to decimal units only in the year 2001.
What prompted this change, is it to 1. adjust with the global situation 2. competition from European exchanges 3. based on an individuals initiative. If anyone can find this, then we can pursue the same path to metrication also. Madan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
