Why don't you store them as integer values and add in the decimal point with something like sprintf() afterwards? Store the values as pence and then you won't have any rounding problems.
If I was designing the system from scratch, that's what I'd do. Unfortunately this is an add-on to a legacy system where currency values are already stored as strings in the database (yes, not ideal I know, but you have to work with what you've got). -- Paul Waring http://www.pwaring.com
