There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I'm sure it is slightly preference but I don't really understand what kind of problems people could have with it, unless for a cosmetic reason (the fairly obnoxious looking dollar sign on the throat).
I used the Money for 3 years and I thought it served me well. It did get pretty flexible at the end but that is expected of most heads after 3 years.
I especially loved the ease of ground balls with this head. I know ground balls aren't really a serious issue with goalie heads but the scoop was a dream come true for me.
I would recommend it. They are especially very cheap now. A great deal in my opinion.

from the few times that i have used a money, i actually kind of liked it. heavy, yes, but unlike the nemesis, it has fantastic stopping area, and, as THALAX said, a nice scoop. plus, it is a complete tank.
however, you can get most of the same benefits (same offset, same stopping area, same scoop, same durability) in the Brine Eraser, which also happens to be a WHOLE lot lighter. i have no major issues with the money, but the Eraser is easily my favorite head of all time.
as far as Brine goalie heads go, the money ain't bad for the money, but if you want to make a good investment in your game, i'd snag an eraser.

I'm using a money right now after my eclipse broke. I actually like it better than the eclipse. I like that its a touch heavier because I feel like it helps on low shots a little bit. And its definately way more rigid than the eclipse ever was. I'm thinking about getting a nemi for backup...

Shya brah, you gotta love the Eraser. Anyways, the goalie on the team below me (5th/6th grade team) has it. I tried it out in the store when we got it for him, it was pretty good. Yeah, it was a tad heavy, heavier than for my tastes. THALAX is right, most find the dollar sign on the throat to be aesthetically repulsive, but you generally probably wouldn't notice it. The throat was in between the very slim Eraser's and the wide Eclipse's, which I found to be sorta annoying but adaptable. The scoop really was nice, one of my favorites out of goalie heads. Overall, the Money isn't top quality, but it's cheap and effective. If you've got a lower price range, check out this and the Abyss 2.0.

I used one and loved it. It was the easiest head for scooping groundballs (like many have said). Mine got extremely flexy after only a year though so I had to get rid of it. I could flex the scoop to the throat easily. I also colored the money sign green, just cause it was good for laughs.

I have tried the head a few times and I did not really like it. The shape of it didn't work for me and I couldn't get the pocket that I love. ( I can only get this pocket in an eclipse.)
