Well how do we represent 0.01 U.S. Dollars in Mark Twain 
Ecash(tm)?  Easy-- we take a few bits of data, interpret it as 
an unsigned binary number, and then say "this number is how
many U.S. pennies this coin is worth."
Now we're back to pennies again. I was more interested in your
earlier claim of tiny payments, on the order of $2^-32.

Actually it can sometimes get more complicated than that, and 
there are some details about how the forthcoming ecashlib 
handles this to be found at "http://www.digicash.com/api".
Will the api make it possible to create coins of arbitrary value? Is
the mint software (and the bank accountants) capable of doing
floating point arithmetic?
