## Value
A *value* is a quantity of a currency represented as a decimal string. Be careful: JavaScript's native number format does not have sufficient precision to represent all values. XRP has different precision from other currencies.
**XRP** has 6 significant digits past the decimal point. In other words, XRP cannot be divided into positive values smaller than `0.000001` (1e-6). This smallest unit is called a "drop". XRP has a maximum value of `100000000000` (1e11). Some RippleAPI methods accept XRP in order to maintain compatibility with older versions of the API. For consistency with the `rippled` APIs, we recommend formally specifying XRP values in *drops* in all API requests, and converting them to XRP for display. This is similar to Bitcoin's *satoshis* and Ethereum's *wei*. 1 XRP = 1,000,000 drops.
