Your right captain.

But when I see this kind of page: http://middlecoin.com/
I still think something could be done to make it easier/faster to read.

@DrGoose
1.5|98 = 1.0000098
It makes me feel I got 1.5 coin but I actually have only 1.0 Smiley.
When you read fast, it could be disappointing.

I agree... it is just confusing for >= 1

What if we use instead the ASCII of small numbers in a circle (or parenthesis for older 7-bits ASCII)?

0.013  ->   (1)13 -> ①13
0.0013 ->   (2)13 -> ②13
1.0013 -> 1.(2)13 -> 1.②13


Where (n) would still read as "n zeros"

I like the graphic version that simply feel like a "zero" with a multiplier inside.

Just food for thought.
