This is going to get lost amongst the demands for adding a new coin, but can the number format be made uniform between currencies.  If you take a look at cryptsy, for example all prices are formatted so that the digits all the way down to 1 satoshi are shown.  For example 1 doge is 0.00000126 on cryptsy at the moment.  You could format the bitcoin price of all currencies as 8 digits after the decimal place, and this would be more uniform than breaking into scientific notation for the lower valued coins.

Which is more legible to you in a table of prices?

0.00000126
or
1.266e-06 BTC

I'm not sure where you get the extra decimal place from.  Is that due to the averaging?
