IMHO, monetare values are different enough from other numbers (e.g., at least in some countries, always written with two decimal digits, i.e. 4.20 not 4.2), also because it's fixed-point (two decimal digits, not floating point). In addition, negative values are written differently in some locales, etc. So I'd recommend using a routines specialized for monetary values.
