I don't see why the date couldn't serve both purposes:
<span class="hentry hmoney">
Google shares were at
<abbr class="currency" title="USD">$</abbr>
<span class="amount>12.34</span>
as at
<abbr class="updated money-date" title="2007-09-28T11:20+01:00>
6pm, 28 September 2007
</abbr>.
</span>
(accessibility issues not withstanding)
If the date occurs once on the page, it could be included as an object.

The publish date would be unreliable, as a news site, say, might be
published, reporting yesterday's stock prices.
