I read in the documentation that the money type is depreciated. It
says to use the to_char function and NUMERIC/decimal instead. Why was
the money type depreciated when it was so useful? How would be the
best way to use to_char and numeric to replace that type since I don't
want to be using a depreciated data type.

regards,
