How about somewhat generic Currency and Monetary objects ?;-)

In a recent discussion I had with one of my fellow EG members at JSR-275 
he confirmed, that was a very good and useful feature he remembers 
implementing over and over again (and not just he ;-)

I hope upcoming projects won't keep me from TSS session in Prague, but 
regardless of public showcasing it, this has been implemented all year.
I also got it at QCon, but the JCP discussion there was more 
organisational, so it did not fit individual JSR demos.

I understand, some of your committers from Wilczeck & Weigle are based 
in Germany. I am currently in Niedersachsen, not too far from there, but 
 normally I don't get that far South in the country...
