    When I started to believe that I was becoming expert in Decimals the number 0.021 occured and I said: сегодняшний валютный курс двадцать один тысячных.
    But I have a suspision that the client said двадцать одна тысячная

    Yep, it's двадцать одна тысячная

    Other examples:

    2.3 - две целых три десятых
    100.07 - сто целых семь сотых

    And like that

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    How it will be 0.023 and 0.025?
    The 0.025 should be двадцать пять тысячных. Correct?

    0,25 - двадцать пять сотых
    0,025 - двадцать пять тысячных

    0,23 - двадцать три сотых
    0,023 - двадцать три тысячных

    Another question is which gender to use when you have to deal with 1 or 2, e.g. talking about 0.025 versus 0.025%.

    But it is for literary style. In speach most probably it will be ноль-ноль-двадцать три.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    In decimal or common fractions, the numerals are always feminine, because of the omitted word «часть» which is feminine.
    1/3 — «третья часть» — «одна третья»
    2/3 — «две третьих части» — «две третьих»
    0.001 — «тысячная часть» — «одна тысячная»
    0.021 — «двадцать одна тысячная часть» — «двадцать одна тысячная»
    Please correct my English
