This example of the decimal.Equals( decimal, decimal ) and
decimal.Compare( decimal, decimal ) methods generates the
following output. It creates several different decimal
values and compares them with the following reference value.

Right: 123.4561M                             123.4561
decimal.Equals( Left, Right )                False
