money types, decimal module

hello i'm stuck with a problem. whats the best way to store money types. 
i know postgre has it's own money data type, but the problem is pythons 
decminal module. floats obviously aren't arrcurate enough, but when i 
use the decminal modle i get this error.

libpq.OperationalError: ERROR:  syntax error at or near ""11.00"" at 
character 88

obviously it's double quotes which are the problem. i'm just stumped 
where to go from here. surely other people have run into the exact same 
problem?
