I have a method of a class such as:
function TMyObject.Test(ACurrency: Currency)
begin

Now, I'll call this method like:
MyObject.Test(0.23);
The problem is that inside the Test method, the current type is
converted to an integer like 2300.
Anyone see anything like this?
I changed it to use Double type and it works fine.

In many languages or frameworks Currency are Integer (64bits) in order
to have fixed point numbers to minimizes rounding errors in monetary
calculations.
For example 150.95 will be stored as 15095.
For FreePascal, I don't know how it is really managed behing the
scene, but in many languages or tools it is like that (D, sqlite, MS
SQL...).
