No, it's an int type. Floating point has nothing to do with the money type, either in the old 32 bit version or the proposed 64 bit version. It does display in a DECIMAL format but just because there is a decimal point in the output does not make it floating point. All internal calculations are done as integer arithmetic. -- D'Arcy J.M.
