Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere

0. Money
Definition | An amount of economic utility in some recognized currency.
Short | An amount of economic utility in some recognized currency
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier | false
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
2. Money.currency
Definition | ISO 4217 Currency Code.
Short | ISO 4217 Currency Code
Control | 10..1
Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from Currencies http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/currencies|4.0.1 (required to `http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/currencies|4.0.1` ) A code indicating the currency, taken from ISO 4217.
Type | code
Is Modifier | false
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Must Support | true
Summary | true
Requirements | A code indicating the currency, taken from ISO 4217.
Pattern Value | `EUR`
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))

Must Support | true
Pattern Value | `EUR`

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere

0. Money
Definition | An amount of economic utility in some recognized currency.
Short | An amount of economic utility in some recognized currency
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier | false
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
2. Money.id
Definition | Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Short | Unique id for inter-element referencing
Control | 0..1
Type | string
Is Modifier | false
XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Summary | false
4. Money.extension
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
Short | Additional content defined by implementations
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
Control | 0..*
Type | Extension
Is Modifier | false
Summary | false
Alternate Names | extensions, user content
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (`extension.exists() != value.exists()`)
Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on `Money.extension`. The slices areUnordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: value @ url
6. Money.value
Definition | Numerical value (with implicit precision).
Short | Numerical value (with implicit precision)
Comments | Monetary values have their own rules for handling precision (refer to standard accounting text books).
Control | 0..1
Type | decimal
Is Modifier | false
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summary | true
Requirements | The amount of the currency. The value includes an implicit precision in the presentation of the value.
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
8. Money.currency
Definition | ISO 4217 Currency Code.
Short | ISO 4217 Currency Code
Control | 1..1
Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from Currencies (required to `http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/currencies|4.0.1` ) A code indicating the currency, taken from ISO 4217.
Type | code
Is Modifier | false
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Must Support | true
Summary | true
Requirements | A code indicating the currency, taken from ISO 4217.
Pattern Value | `EUR`
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
