Assuming you mean like fixed-point arithmetic? Well, if you know you want to support all of 1 BTC's satoshis but also want to support Danish krone's, you could be wasting a lot of space by just delegating to the currently largest precision-requiring currency (or whatever, depending on your use case)

Unless I'm not understanding what you mean by fixed point?
