It's working on 7.4:

Welcome to psql 7.4beta3, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
        \h for help with SQL commands
        \? for help on internal slash commands
        \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
        \q to quit

kalman=# create table test( a money );
CREATE TABLE
kalman=# create index idx on test (a );
CREATE INDEX
