title: MySQL: preferred column type for (product) prices?
body: <p>In MySQL, what is the preferred column type for storing a product's price (or currencies in general)? Google learned me DECIMAL of FLOAT is often used, but I wonder which one is better.</p>
  
  <p>I'm storing prices ranging from 0.01 to 25.00. Of course higher values could also be possible. (Note: I'm not asking for copy-pasta code, I'm just giving you more information which could help you form a more complete answer). </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
