So you prefer to believe a 5-year-old SO post rather than actual
product documentation?

Up to you. Regardless, while I read it as numeric and decimal being
the same thing, you can test that theory yourself. Here's one way:

testdb=# create table things ( name varchar(255), price decimal );
testdb=# \dS things
Table "public.things"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+------------------------+-----------
name | character varying(255) |
price | numeric |

This is on a PG 9.3.5 installation, BTW; you didn't mention what
version you're running, so YMMV.
