This wasn't your question, but, eek!  Currency should use a python  
decimal.Decimal, never a float.  I don't think we have  schema field  
and widget yet, but it would be trivial to add (the widget would  
effectively be identical, I believe).  Using floats for money is a  
bad idea

(a classic example:
 >>> 3.3
3.2999999999999998
 >>> import decimal
 >>> decimal.Decimal("3.3")
Decimal("3.3")
)
