這一節的內容是：不要使用money。
理由是:
>money
It's a fixed-point type, implemented as a machine int, so arithmetic with it is fast. But it doesn't handle fractions of a cent (or equivalents in other currencies), it's rounding behaviour is probably not what you want.
It doesn't store a currency with the value, rather assuming that all money columns contain the currency specified by the database's lc_monetary locale setting. If you change the lc_monetary setting for any reason, all money columns will contain the wrong value. That means that if you insert '$10.00' while lc_monetary is set to 'en_US.UTF-8' the value you retrieve may be '10,00 Lei' or '¥1,000' if lc_monetary is changed.
Storing a value as a numeric, possibly with the currency being used in an adjacent column, might be better.

原因是money型別是定點型別，在計算機中透過機器int型別實現，取整行為可能不符合期望，同時該欄位並沒有儲存貨幣單位，取決於資料庫的lc_monetary設定，如果計量單位變化那麼該值可能會存在問題，因此使用numeric儲存數值額外使用其他欄位儲存貨幣單位。

查詢資料，實際的資料是四捨五入，保留兩位小數
```
[local]:5432 pg12@testdb=# select * from t_money;
 id |     c1      
----+-------------
  1 | $112,343.01
  2 | $112,343.31
  3 | $112,343.50
  4 | $112,343.99

  6 | $112,343.32
