Not sure why assigning cell data with .value unexpectedly rounds number

Here's the line
VBA Code:
ImportWS.Cells(ImportAddRow, ImpRate) = SourceWS.Cells(r, MilR).Value

SourceWS.Cells(r,MilR) actual value is $.445 formatted as currency. The value that gets written into ImportWS.Cells(ImportAddRow, ImpRate) is $.45. Why does this round to 2 decimal places?

When I MsgBox SourceWS.Cells(r, MilR).Value is shows $.445, not the rounded number.

I adjusted the code to
VBA Code:
ImportWS.Cells(ImportAddRow, ImpRate) = SourceWS.Cells(r, MilR)
and it works, so this question is more for educational purposes.

Thanks in advance!

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
AFAIK what you're seeing is the standard currency rounded to 2 places, but removing the .Value stores not only the value but the larger decimal places currency format from the SourceWS.Cells(r, MilR).
