# 104.4 Lesson - HighlyDivisible

**Screen:** HighlyDivisible

**Headline:** Special Characteristic

**Reward:** 3

**Text:** Old-fashioned fiat money can only be spent in amounts as small as one penny — or two decimal places for one US Dollar ($0.01).

On the other hand, Bitcoin can be divided 100,000,000 times over. This means that you could spend as little as ₿0.00000001. You will note the ""₿"" symbol, which is the Bitcoin equivalent of ""$"". Sometimes you will also see the use of BTC, instead of ₿.

By way of contrast, Bitcoin can handle very small payments — even those less than one US penny!
