A hundred million units at sixteen decimal places, an unusually fine subdivision.
Historical Significance
This is the tutorial revision that added delegated spending, and it did it with approveAndCall: the allowance is set and the spender is called in the same transaction, so a contract learns about its allowance at the moment it is granted. It solved the problem ERC-20's plain approve leaves open, that a contract cannot notice an approval, and it was dropped from the standard anyway because it requires the spender to be a contract. The idea returned years later as ERC-777 and ERC-1363.
Context
Deployed in May 2016 during the Homestead era.

Key Facts
Description
The decimals field is sixteen rather than the customary eighteen or two, so a single unit divides into ten quadrillion parts. The whole supply is credited to the deploying account at creation and nothing can mint more. Approvals go through approveAndCall, which records the allowance and then calls receiveApproval on the spender contract in the same transaction.
