Depending on your case, you could potentially use getters and setters to masquerade the property as a string during JSON serialization.

public class Money
{
    [JsonIgnore]
    public decimal Money { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("money")]
    public string MoneyAsString
    {
        get { return Money.ToString("0.00"); }
        set { Money = decimal.Parse(value); }
    }
}
