That list has several 3 and 4 digit entries, so the assumption 'no currency is defined for transaction below two decimal points' is indeed a fallacy.

Did you misunderstand the statement as being a truthy claim rather than a false claim?



It isn't phrased as a fallacy, it's phrased as an argument against using a float.

There's obviously some difference of opinion about what "below two decimal points" means. Given that they point out the 0 decimal point Yen, it seems they mean "more precise than", ie more decimal points.

Even if they meant the opposite their own example of the yen disproves that.
