My guess is that what you see as a number pasted is not really a number, but a
text that looks as a number.

There is a chance that you are pasting a "number" that has a different decimal
separator or a group separator in comparison to what the cell expects
(according to its Locale format).

When you find a case that causes you this kind of problem, you could try
copying from the built-in calculator and pasting the value in a plain text
editor (e.g. notepad). Then manually enter the number in Calc, check that it is
correctly displayed as currency, and copy it, then paste the value on the plain
editor too. With both values in the plain text editor, compare between them.
Are both using the same decimal marker? Are both using the same group (aka
thousand) separator?

Since we are talking about private information, there is not much we could add
to solve your problem; we could only guess. Moreover, until we could have some
way to replicate the problem, we cannot consider this to be a bug report.

I would suggest using a forum such as <https://ask.libreoffice.org> for this
kind of questions (as this is not really a bug report at this stage), but
please be aware that anyone trying to help you there will probably request some
sample file too.

You could "sanitize" your spreadsheet (search the wiki for how to do it) in
order to minimize the possibility of sharing private information.

I am setting this report as NEEDINFO, awaiting for additional details and
feedback.
