Well, we may have some additional issues to deal with here, what about
currency with no decimel part, or currencies with different kinds of units
(do any of these still exist?).  Perhaps we need to store currency in two
fields (curr_major and curr_minor) with names controlled by
(curr_major_name and curr_minor_name). Then we can ask for data to be
entered without separators:

  Please enter the $curr_major_name amount of the fine: ________
  Please enter the $curr_minor_name amount of the fine: ________
   (Please enter all figures as whole numbers, and without
   separators.)

(or something like that)

This may be too much overhead for a problem we don't really need to worry
about, but ...
