All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Coin>, Monetary
```
public final class Coin
extends java.lang.Object
implements Monetary, java.lang.Comparable<Coin>
```
Represents a monetary Bitcoin value. This class is immutable and should be treated as a Java Value-based class. We recommend using the Coin class wherever possible to represent Bitcoin monetary values. If you have existing code that uses other numeric types and need to convert there are conversion methods.
Internally Coin is implemented as a long (see value) that represents a number of satoshis. It can also be considered a fixed-point number of bitcoins.
To create a Coin from an integer number of satoshis, use ofSat(long). To convert to a long number of satoshis use toSat(). (You can also use valueOf(long), getValue() or value.)
To create a Coin from a decimal number of bitcoins, use ofBtc(BigDecimal). To convert to a BigDecimal of bitcoins use toBtc(). (Performing fixed-point conversion, these methods essentially multiply or divide by Coin.COIN.toSat().)
Never ever use float or double to represent monetary values.
