you can't have a template and non-template by the same name

here is the nasty solution, ther might be a better one, but this should work.

// ------------------------
Ret!(T) opDiv(T)(T pFactor)
// ------------------------
{
  Ret!(T) temp;
  static if(is(T == Currency))
    temp =  mData / pFactor.mData;
  else
    temp = this.mData / pFactor;

  return temp;
}
