Introduction
If you didn't know, you can control the default precision that BigDecimal uses by setting the static member BigDecimal.Precision to the maximum number of digits of precision you will need.
Purpose
I wanted to poll the community to try and get an idea what are the most common values for BigDecimal.Precision that people are using. This will help inform things like what a sensible default value might be, among other things.
Note: I intentionally did not mention what the default value is, so as not to bias people's answers (anchoring bias).
Qualifiers/Who should answer
Please only answer this pole if you actually use/set the BigDecimal.Precision setting. Do not answer, say, what you conjecture you would likely use or what you feel a sensible precision is/should be.
