You need to set lc_monetary to some locale that uses 4-decimal-place
currency.

I find it has strong, if limited, usefulness when input data is a currency string and you want to directly parse it into a table as an amount and not text which you then have to post-process. If your input is already a pure number then numeric is a far better choice.
