What are the pros and cons in using Currency instead of numeric type fields?
The fields will be used to store money amounts with 2 digits (example: price 9999999999.99, total 99999999999.99 etc.) Precision of 2 digits is sufficient.
Are there other benefits in choosing Currency fields besides the less space required for storing the data?
Are there any global settings to instruct currency fields to displace and print 2 digits instead of 4 that is the default?

Thanks
