Possibly not good, but it seems like the subsequent loop works anyway:
regression=# select '-92233720368547758.08'::money;
money
-----------------------------
-$92,233,720,368,547,758.08
(1 row)
Note that this exact test case appears in money.sql, so we know that
it works everywhere, not only my machine.

How could you think that that's an acceptable solution? Once the
value is stored, we'd better be able to print it.
