A COMVariant object has a currency data type if its data type is set to COMVariantType::VT_CY.

The currency data type is a COM data type that is optimized for currency values. It is a real number with four decimal places. Sometimes "CY" is also used to refer to the COM currency data type.

The following example creates a new COMVariant object of type VT_CY and sets the value to 123.4567.

{ 
    COMVariant var = new COMVariant( 
        COMVariantInOut::IN_OUT,  
        COMVariantType::VT_CY); 
  
    // Set value of the object 
    var.currency(123.4567); 
}
