You may have noticed there are _very_ few references to money in SR that
aren't rounded to the nearest whole nuyen. There are some, but very few,
and when they do appear it's usually for things that cost, for example,
0.50 nuyen per kilometer, so you'll end up paying amounts like 274 * 0.50
nuyen anyway.

See my earlier post :) This gets you much more realistic prices, and a lot
less usable game stats because it makes decks so cheap that everyone has
insanely high ratings in everything that matters. The net result is more
dicerolling for the same game effects.
