I would have suggested setting up your locale to set the frac_digits
to 0, but as you want to only strip ".00" that wouldn't do what you
want.

You should either post-process the output of the [currency] tag, with
a line of Perl, or create a UserTag of your own.  I suggest creating a
UserTag if you intend to make use of this all over your website.

For instance, You could create [my-currency], which would call the
[currency] tag and then strip the trailing ".00" - if present.  Once
you have that working, simply replace all calls to [currency] with your
new [my-currency] UserTag and process calls to other price values with
your new UserTag.
