That's a false precision, it's the price or exchange rate that needs to change to reflect the exact amounts in each currency. Always tell GnuCash the amounts and let it calculate the price; after all it stores the amount and value in a split, not the price or exchange rate. That's always calculated.
That's not to be confused with the price database that's used to present market values in reports and on the account page. Those market values are of course rounded, but they're also ephemeral because the price will be different soon: maybe in a second, maybe on the next trading day.
