Best way to format money or date with default string value

Hello, I am wondering if exists an easy way to both use default() and money() or format() for dates when the default value is a string. If the value is null and so it is replaced with a string I get Filament\Support\format_money(): Argument #1 ($money) must be of type int|float, string given. The solution that I have found it uses formatStateUsing, for example:

use function Filament\Support\format_money;

// ...

Components\TextEntry::make('initial_cost')
    ->money('eur')
    ->label(__('Initial Cost')),

Components\TextEntry::make('final_cost')
    ->default(__('N/A'))
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (int|float|string $state): string => $state == __('N/A')
        ? $state
        : format_money($state, 'eur'))
//      : $state->money('eur')) this also gives the same error
    ->label(__('Final Cost')),

use function Filament\Support\format_money;

// ...

Components\TextEntry::make('initial_cost')
    ->money('eur')
    ->label(__('Initial Cost')),

Components\TextEntry::make('final_cost')
    ->default(__('N/A'))
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (int|float|string $state): string => $state == __('N/A')
        ? $state
        : format_money($state, 'eur'))
//      : $state->money('eur')) this also gives the same error
    ->label(__('Final Cost')),

Is there a better way to achieve this with using money() directly without formatStateUsing?

The same is true when using format(), the best work around I got is this:

Components\TextEntry::make('invoice_date')
    ->default(__('N/A'))
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (string | Carbon $state): string => $state == __('N/A')
        ? $state
        : $state->format('d/m/Y'))
    ->label(__('Invoice Date')),

Components\TextEntry::make('invoice_date')
    ->default(__('N/A'))
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (string | Carbon $state): string => $state == __('N/A')
        ? $state
        : $state->format('d/m/Y'))
    ->label(__('Invoice Date')),

Components\TextEntry::make('final_cost')
    ->placeholder(__('N/A'))
    ->money('eur')
    ->label(__('Final Cost')),

Components\TextEntry::make('final_cost')
    ->placeholder(__('N/A'))
    ->money('eur')
    ->label(__('Final Cost')),

I guess using placeholder() instead of default() is also an option but the text displaying 'N/A' is obviously lighter
