Here's how I represent currency values:
CREATE DOMAIN currency
AS numeric(10,2);
See, I can understand why someone might take the extra step to create a domain for storing monetary units. The fact that money is in the documentation, but contains no notes to explain that it's only there for backward-compatibility lead me to wonder if it still had relevance, which I gather it doesn't really. I'll avoid using it as it only appears to introduce unnecessary limitations with very little advantages.
