In-depth Information
Support for input using SI prefixes was added to the Monero codebase on March 3, 2017 by Moneromooo. The smallest unit of monero (10^-12 XMR) was originally called a tacoshi in honor of user Tacotime, an early Monero contributor and was later renamed for ease of use and consistancy.
