I get the following from 8.2beta1 - looks like it doesn't like the
double quotes.

postgres=# select '123.45'::money;
money
---------
$123.45
(1 row)

postgres=# select '$123.45'::money;
money
---------
$123.45
(1 row)
postgres=# select "123.45"::money;
ERROR: column "123.45" does not exist
LINE 1: select "123.45"::money;
^
postgres=# select "$123.45"::money;
ERROR: column "$123.45" does not exist
LINE 1: select "$123.45"::money;
^
