Mill is a fun project, and there are also base 10 floating point 
FPGA coprocessors available, but probably not widely deployed.

I've personally settled for storing in cents instead, as integers 
have accurate precision (storing "30.0" instead of "0.3"). The 
problem is then reduced to writing a wrapper for floats with a 
dedicated string_to_float conversion that is loss free.
