It's OK to use floating point for money.

No doubt there's inaccuracies.
You've got rounding errors,
Unreconciled accounts and split
Transactions that
Don't add up.

But we saw you fight, tooth-and-nail,
To make all the balance sheets
Balance—So relax, we'll let slide
Those pennies overspent;
The deficit will be covered
From our own pocket.
And as for the money that
Appeared from thin air:
Keep it, and treat me
To something nice.
