## XRP Precision
XRP has the same precision as a 64-bit unsigned integer where each unit is equivalent to 0.000001 XRP. Its properties are:
* Minimum value: `0`
* Maximum value: `100000000000` (10^11) XRP
- `"100000000000000000"` (10^17) drops of XRP
* Precise to the nearest `0.000001` (10^-6) XRP
* Maximum value: `100000000000` (10<sup>11</sup>) XRP
- `"100000000000000000"` (10<sup>17</sup>) drops of XRP
* Precise to the nearest `0.000001` (10<sup>-6</sup>) XRP
- `"1"` drop of XRP
