What is it that you feel is lacking in the decimal datatype that makes
you feel you require a money datatype?
Decimal datatype was a general purpose fixed-point number, which is
usually the behavior required for money calculation, but it's not
named 'money' because this behavior isn't only useful for money
calculation, so they don't name it money.
