    Hi Avnish,

    Currency field type allows user to enter INR or any other country currency values in the record whereas Number data type allows users to enter numbers.

    Hi,

    Currency Data Type – Allows users to enter a dollar or other currency amount and automatically formats the field as a currency amount. This can be useful if you export data to Excel or another spreadsheet.

    Number Data Type – Allows users to enter any number. Leading zeros are removed.

    Hope this helps.
