Default Limiting Validation entries to 2 places after a decimal

Good job. I assume the other suggestions work, but yours is the most
straight-foward. It should be noted however that if you select a range of
cells to validate, "A1" should be replaced by top left cell in the selected
region. Also, this might frustrate users who are not experienced with excel.
The pop up does not explain the restriction, only the fact that it is
restricted. But then again, my solution my frustate them as well, and would
have worse consequences if they messed something up.

=MOD(100*A1,1)=0

I have a multi-user spreadsheet to enter dollar values. How can I limit a
user from entering, for example, 43.703 when the correct entry is 43.70?

I can do this by changing the number format but do not want to do that.
