I understand from http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/datatype-money.html that the “money” data type is deprecated.
Money is no longer deprecated in newer releases (specifically 8.3), although I do think it would be wise to push it to numeric.
I think the way to do it would be to backup the table and edit the table definition from the file. Make the money a numeric. Then reload the table from the backup.
