-Example content.
+- Monetary amounts can be provided as strings. This means that for example the
+ argument to sendtoaddress can be "0.0001" instead of 0.0001. This can be an
+ advantage if a JSON library insists on using a lossy floating point type for
+ numbers, which would be dangerous for monetary amounts.
