Handling Currency in Database.

Greetings All, I was hoping that someone might be able to offer some
insight on how to handle currency both in a base table and within
PL/SQL.  My goal is to ensure that no rounding errors are introduced
when moving these values around.  I suspect that if I define an
attribute as number(14,4) that all rounding errors will be avoided
when doing arithmetic?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
