Hi,
in the documentation for 8.2 (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/datatype-money.html) there
is info:

*Note:* The money type is deprecated. Use numeric or decimal instead, in
combination with theto_char function.

However in later versions the info disappeared. It doesn't exist even in
the 8.3.

I think removing this type would a good solution... any plans for that?

What is the status of Money type, is that OK or deprecated?

regards
Szymon
