Author states similar problem:

as part of a recent application I realized how lacking .NET is for currency support, don't get me wrong, there are many "pieces" but the glue for all items is missing, so this article is a response to that.

and fulfills objectives

my main objectives became

• Store the currency type with the value (i.e. AUD, US, DKK).
• Store formatting details (i.e. decimal grouping, currency symbols, etc.).
• Conversion providers, I didn't want to hard code this as it is a datatype and not a solution.
• Development safety features (i.e. prevent arithmetic on different currency types).

So far this the closest .NET code to what I'm searching for. It fulfills most requirements of Money.

If anybody has something better it would be much appreciated.
