I think you mean when you SELECT something of type MONEY and convert it
to a string?  

It looks like that's FreeTDS's behavior.  Microsoft's isql.exe does the
same thing.  

1> select cast(.116 as money)
2> go

 ------------------------
                     0.12

I note their ODBC tools don't round.  

1> select cast(.116 as smallmoney)
2> go

 ------------
        .1160
