JavaScript is a bit funny and doesn’t actually have native integers… every number is a floating point, which means even whole number math gets weird sometimes. Not often, but enough that cents were lost and people were upset.
I haven’t looked at how Dinero works under the hood, but I never had any problems at all with it after we started using it. Front end works in cents, back end works in decimal, is what I’d suggest for anyone else reading this. Statically typed languages are much easier to control and you don’t need a library at all if you’re careful.
