if I load a record with `nlapiLoadRecord` and then do `getFieldValue` on a field of type Currency, the value returned is a string e.g. ‘23911.00’  However if I do the equivalent in SS2 with `record.load` and `getValue()` I get back a number e.g. 23911

ss2 is more consistent about how it treats values vs text

the value of the field will be a number, the text the string

and it actually will respect the number format preferences while ss1 will ignore it
