D'Arcy J.M. Cain implemented the money type for v6.1 from code found in
the book "Software Solutions in C". I helped to integrate it into
Postgres.
We are hoping to get enough platforms with 64-bit integers to allow us
to move to a 64-bit money type.
What else do you want to do with the money type? Start talkin' (perhaps
off-list with D'Arcy and I unless we aren't getting you where you want
to go with it :)
