The moneypunct<> facet defines monetary formatting parameters
used by money_get<> and money_put<>[.](#1.sentence-1)

A monetary format is a sequence of four components,
specified by a pattern value p,
such that the part value static_cast<part>(p.field[i]) determines the ith component of the format[.](#1.sentence-2)[230](#footnote-230 "An array of char, rather than an array of part, is specified for pattern​::​field purely for efficiency.")

In the field member of a pattern object,
each value symbol, sign, value, and
either space or none appears exactly once[.](#1.sentence-3)

The value none, if present, is not first;
the value space, if present, is neither first nor last[.](#1.sentence-4)

Where none or space appears,
whitespace is permitted in the format,
except where none appears at the end,
in which case no whitespace is permitted[.](#2.sentence-1)

The value space indicates that
at least one space is required at that position[.](#2.sentence-2)

Where symbol appears,
the sequence of characters returned by curr_symbol() is permitted, and
can be required[.](#2.sentence-3)

Where sign appears,
the first (if any) of the sequence of characters returned bypositive_sign() or negative_sign() (respectively as the monetary value is non-negative or negative) is required[.](#2.sentence-4)

Any remaining characters of the sign sequence are required after
all other format components[.](#2.sentence-5)

Where value appears, the absolute numeric monetary value is required[.](#2.sentence-6)

The format of the numeric monetary value is a decimal number:

value :  
units fractionalopt  
decimal-point digits

fractional :  
decimal-point digitsopt

if frac_digits() returns a positive value, or

value :  
units

otherwise[.](#3.sentence-1)

The symbol *decimal-point* indicates the character returned by decimal_point()[.](#3.sentence-2)

The other symbols are defined as follows:

units :  
digits  
digits thousands-sep units

digits :  
adigit digitsopt

In the syntax specification,
the symbol *adigit* is any of the values ct.widen(c) for c in the range '0' through '9' (inclusive) andct is a reference of type const ctype<charT>& obtained as described in the definitions
of money_get<> and money_put<>[.](#3.sentence-4)

The symbol *thousands-sep* is the character returned by thousands_sep()[.](#3.sentence-5)

The space character used is the value ct.widen(' ')[.](#3.sentence-6)

Whitespace characters are those characters c for which ci.is(space, c) returns true[.](#3.sentence-7)

The number of digits required after the decimal point (if any)
is exactly the value returned by frac_digits()[.](#3.sentence-8)

The placement of thousands-separator characters (if any)
is determined by the value returned by grouping(),
defined identically as the member numpunct<>​::​do_grouping()[.](#4.sentence-1)
