For example, consider this Invoice class:

public class Invoice
{
    public int InvoiceId { get; set; }                
    public decimal Amount { get; set; }
}

You can do it with fluent API:

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.Entity()
                .Property(i => i.Amount)
                .HasColumnType("Money");
}

Or you can do it with Data Annotations:

public class Invoice
{
    public int InvoiceId { get; set; }                

    [Column(TypeName="Money")]
    public decimal Amount { get; set; }
}
