>>> What does "SELECT 2 * '3'::money;" do?
That works.
>>try changing "64" to "32" in the function cash_mul_int4
That also worked.

Datum
cash_mul_int4(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{Cash        c = PG_GETARG_CASH(0);/*int64        i = PG_GETARG_INT64(1);*/        int32           i =
PG_GETARG_INT32(1);Cash       result;
 
result = c * i;PG_RETURN_CASH(result);
}

See submitted patch that fixes cash_send and cash_recv as well.
