Money field is a text field with a selection field to have the user enter an amount of money with respect to currency.
Currency CCK is a selection field with all currencies provided by Currency API.
I have tried Money module before I add this to CVS and create a project for it.
I needed this feature in a project thus it might be helpful to someone else to have a field like "preferred currency" or whatever.

owahab is absolutely right. Sometimes you just want the currency, and not amount and currency.

First I wanted to create a Currency CCK field and combine that with the Number CCK field. But you have to be able to address a field like "an amount of money of a certain currency", you don't want two separate fields ("amount" and "currency"). Not to mention that the Number CCK field uses floats for storing floating point numbers, which has rounding issues. In the Money CCK field, I use integers.

Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps both of your project descriptions should link to each other along with the difference explained.
