HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You 
might need to add explicit type casts.
You are trying to compare a value of `money' data type with a value of 
`integer' data type. This is intentionally not permitted. Since, in your 
case, it looks like the 0 is an integer literal you should be doing:
( moneyvar1 - moneyvar2 - moneyvar3etc ) <> '0'::money;
In the longer run you might want to look into using the NUMERIC data 
type instead of the MONEY type.
