<p> The <code class="type">money</code> type is deprecated. Use
<code class="type">numeric</code> or <code class="type">decimal</code> instead, in
combination with the <code class="function">to_char</code> function.
</p>
</div>
<p> The <code class="type">money</code> type stores a currency amount with a fixed
fractional precision; see <a href="datatype-money.html#datatype-money-table" title="Table8.3.Monetary Types">Table8.3, “Monetary Types”</a>.
Input is accepted in a variety of formats, including integer and
floating-point literals, as well as “<span class="quote">typical</span>”
currency formatting, such as <code class="literal">'$1,000.00'</code>.
Output is generally in the latter form but depends on the locale.
