Hi all,

I think that PostgreSQL money type should be very useful if we could
remove the dollar sign. We can't use it with Lira/Peseta/Mark etc.
In europe now we have Euro. If we remove the $ it will be useful otherwise
we have to rename it to 'dollar'. ;-)

PS: Is there a reason to left justify it ?

select dollar from prova;
dollar
----------
$300.32
$302.21
$312.10
$12,312.10
$12,386.00
$12,312.00
Thanks, Jose'
