It's working on 7.4:

Welcome to psql 7.4beta3, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit

kalman=# create table test( a money );
CREATE TABLE
kalman=# create index idx on test (a );
CREATE INDEX
