# Denomination

#### The Basics

A denomination is a proper description of a currency amount. It is oftentimes a sub-unit of the currency. For example, traditionally a cent is 1/100th of a particular unit of currency.).

Haven denomination names add SI prefixes after dropping the initial "mo" for ease of use. Actually, the smallest unit of Haven is 1 piconero (0.000000000001 XMR).

#### In-depth Information

Support for input using SI prefixes was [added to the Haven codebase](https://github.com/haven-project/haven/pull/1826) on March 3, 2017 by [Havenmooo](https://github.com/havenmooo-haven). The smallest unit of Haven (10^-12 XMR) was originally called a tacoshi in honor of user [Tacotime](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19270), an early Haven contributor and was later renamed for ease of use and consistancy.

#### Havend Implementation

The smallest fraction of Haven in the current havend implementation is also known as the @atomic-unit, which is currently one piconero.
