200	Add a Decimal type and a Currency type	Moof <moof@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"Add a DecimalField type that maps between python's Decimal type and [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/numeric-types.html mySQL's] and [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/datatype.html#DATATYPE-NUMERIC PostgreSQL's] NUMERIC type. I can't make head nor tail of SQLite's type system, but I assume it has some analogue. It should be possible to define the precision and scale of these types, but they should be optional.

Add a CurrencyField type which is analogous to a DecimalField limited to two decimal places.

Floating point numbers are not good for currency amounts, and I tire of having to convert between an integer number of cents and a string which is in Euro."	enhancement	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)		normal	fixed		moof@… adurdin@… gary.wilson@… rushman@…	Design decision needed	0	0	0	0	0	0
