My co-worker is insisting on using money as the datatype for any field holding Price or Cost data in our database. If I remember correctly, there are issues with using money as a datatype, particularly when we may one day store international currency values in our database. Can anyone help clarify the pros and cons of using the money datatype?

Much Thanks,
