When working with decimal numbers, you might face problems this library is not perfectly suited for.
Fortunately, thanks to the wonderful community we have a dozen other libraries that you can choose from.
Explore other alternatives to find the one that best fits your needs :)
* [cockroachdb/apd](https://github.com/cockroachdb/apd) - high precision, mutable and rich API similar to `big.Int`, higher performance than this library
* [alpacahq/alpacadecimal](https://github.com/alpacahq/alpacadecimal) - high performance, low precision (12 digits), with fully compatible API to this library
* [govalues/decimal](https://github.com/govalues/decimal) - high performance, zero-allocation, low precision (19 digits)
* [greatcloak/decimal](https://github.com/greatcloak/decimal) - fork of this library, with out-of-the-box BSON marshaling support
