Without even looking at the book, I would say that textbook-sized
examples are supposed to be small, so to illustrate using one ADT
within another one has to do that for cases that are possibly
quite a bit smaller than one would encounter in the real world.
It is a sign of forethought, however, to make the currency ADT
package when you only need it one place, anticipating that in
the future you may need it in other places.
