Documentation

Install the plugin: 
ruby script/plugin install svn://svn.nullcreations.net/plugins/rails_money

Create your tables with fields named FIELDNAME_in_cents and you will be able to access them as
FIELDNAME. ActiveRecord will return Money objects instead of Fixnums. 

  add_column :products, :price_in_cents, :integer
 
  product = Product.find_first
  product.price = 100.00
  product.price >> #


Creating a Money can be done from a Fixnum (dollars) or a Float (dollars.cents). To create a money object from just cents, do Money.create_from_cents(100)
