I am trying to import some data from spreadsheets. Included in the data

What program?

Usually there is an option to save the raw values not the formatted ones. In LibreOffice you uncheck the Save content as shown option.

sets are US monetary values. These appear in the CSV file, like this: $1.00
The column is defined like this: NUMERIC(5,2) NOT NULL. When I try to
import this data using the \copy functionality, i get the following error;

stan@smokey:~/pm_db/live_data$ psql < import_employee.sql
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type numeric: "$1.00"
CONTEXT:  COPY employee, line 2, column hourly_rate: "$1.00"

How can I work around this?
