The book "Thinking Forth" contains a quote from Charles Moore: "In my accounting system [...]"; the example shows two significant places after the decimal point for the dollar amount - whether the type is floating point or fixed decimal is naturally implicit (and uninferable from the example). Nothing in that vignette contradicts the observations of the article.
