Stephen,
I have to say my interest is peaked. I'm interested to see what you have
in mind for this.

One of the items the JDK doesn't have is a Money class (despite having
a Currency class). I'm raising the question of whether others here
would be interested in creating a new component (or possibly adding it
to a Java 5 version of commons-lang).
I have recently coded a Money class with full tests, which I have
considered releasing as a Joda-Money component. But I don't really
have the time to put into this with the JSR-310 work. If there are
others at commons that want to take what I've done and breath life
into it to get it released perhaps that might be the best way?
I don't consider what I have done to be complete BTW. It is a basic
Money class, but I was planning on adding BigMoney, formatting and
parsing too - if I had enough time.
One key scope point, I see this as just being to provide the value
objects and formatting. All the myriad of financial calculations
shouldn't be part of the basic commons-money, thus it would be a very
small component.
To reiterate, I don't really have time to lead this or release it, so
I'm just testing the water to see if it piques anyone's interest.
