iphone / Objective C - Comparing doubles not working

I think I'm going insane. "counter" and "interval" are both doubles. This is happening on accelerometer:didAccelerate at an interval of (.01) . "counter" should eventually increment to "interval". For some reason i cant get this "if" to ring true.

Am I overlooking something?

double interval = .5;
 if( counter == interval ){ //should eventually be .50000 == .50000
  NSLog( @"Hit!" );
  [self playSound];
  counter = 0;
 }else{
  counter += .01;
 }
NSLog( @"%f, %f, %d",counter,interval,(counter == interval) );
