Hi all,

Is there any data type could be used to represent 'Money'  in OCaml, similar
to BigDecimal.
I see a lot of programs using float directly. Maybe Num would be better, but
less document could be found, for example, how to represent 20.27

Or there already exist a better solution. Thanks for any help.

Conglun
