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.

Monerod Implementation

The smallest fraction of Monero in the current monerod implementation is also known as the @atomic-unit, which is currently one piconero.
