Answer 1

You might want to take a look a the Currencies plugin. It provides a Money class for holding monetary amounts of differing currencies. They can be embedded into domain classes like so:

class CustomerTransaction {
    Date date = new Date()
    Money amount

    static embedded = ['money']
}
