money attribute nothing special

I expected when I created a field w a money attribute that URp would precede the numeric value w a financial character, $ as example (controlled by Windows). But this doesn't happen. When I turned to the help file to explain what the money field was all about I found the following which seems to suggest that it's not a specialized attribute so I don't understand why it exists.

~ Start ~

Note: The String, Number and Money Attribute Types allow direct entry of the value, without a specialized value editor. For these Attribute Types, you are allowed to enter data that does not match the type (a good example is entering 56 bps for a Number Attribute Type value). For Attributes using the Number and Money Attribute Types, Ultra Recall will use the leading numeric part of the value for search and sorting purposes.
