new ExchangeRate() Value round to 4 digits only. Loss of fraction occurs

[v0id24]

Hi!
In most cases base currency have bigger value than quote currency.
But in some situations (money order between two people with different currencies; or simply nonstandard pair where quote currency and base currency are overturned) ExchangeRate.Value is much less than 1 and loss of fraction occurs.

Maybe rounding should be more than 4 digits or to add exception if ExchangeRate.Value is less than 1 to prevent losses.

The workaround for me now is
ExchangeRate exchangeRate = new ExchangeRate(baseCurrency, quoteCurrency, baseCurrencyRate / quoteCurrencyRate);
if (exchangeRate.Value < 1m)
{
exchangeRate = new ExchangeRate(quoteCurrency, baseCurrency, quoteCurrencyRate / baseCurrencyRate);
}

Good point. I was under the assumption that exchange rates are always given in 4 decimals. It looks like some exchangerateproviders provide rates for the "quote" currency up to 6 decimal places.

I think the ExchangeRate type should be changed to allow 6 decimals or even better 6 significant figures.

BTW ExchangeRate with a value of less then 1, should not be a problem in itself. Rounding of money can happen and is allowed, so far as I know.
