Money Data Type Question

Hi All,
I have a few columns that are of a type Money.
My problem is that the data has four decimal places to the right all the
time e.g...
1032.0000
.0000
12.1200
100.100
etc...
How can I set the columns of type Money to only provide two decimal places.
I would think that this would be automatic or what's the difference between
Money and Decimal?
Thanks very much,

money and smallmoney are specialized forms of decimal. As such, the
definition of money states that it has a scale of 4.
If you only want it to have a scale of 2 then you will need to use a
decimal and define it as such.
For more information look at Books Online for decimal.
