jQuery plugin validation 2 issues: US money and select list

jQuery plugin validation 2 issues: US money and select list

2 issues I'm having are:
  1. I would like to validate us money only positive values and optionally (not care if there is a $ symbol)
  2. I have a few small select lists where the default(Please Make Selection) is selected and disabled and I need to validate that any other option was selected

Thanks,
KG
