So does casting to an integer:

select 1.25::integer
;
int4
----
   1

And then there's this:

create table wkdata
(numval numeric(5,2))

CREATE TABLE
Time: 6.761 ms
nolan=> insert into wkdata
nolan-> values (123.456789);
INSERT 569625265 1
Time: 4.063 ms
nolan=> select * from wkdata;
select * from wkdata;
numval
------
123.46

So rounding a money field doesn't seem inconsistent with other data types.
