Currency without Cents

[pwim]

Currency such as Japanese Yen and Korean Won do not have cents. How should I fix this issue? For instance, should the following spec be corrected from:

# spec/money/formatting_spec.rb
one_thousand["JPY"].should == "¥1,000.00"

to

# spec/money/formatting_spec.rb
one_thousand["JPY"].should == "¥1,000"

or

# spec/money/formatting_spec.rb
one_thousand["JPY"].should == "¥100,000"

According to ISO, 1/100 of a Yen is a Sen, which is used by ISO as the cents notation for Yen. If you didn't want to use Sen, you could just call #format with :no_cents.

But there is no such thing as sen, as it was taken out of circulation in 1953. As I am living in Japan, I can assure you no one uses decimal units when using Yen.

I want to display currency how it would normally be displayed. For instance, with US Dollars, I want to display $100.00 and with yen ¥1,000. If I need to use :no_cents, then as far as I understand, I would need to inspect which currency I am displaying, defeating the point of using a library like this.

If that's the case, I have no problem removing Sen. Please update the currency file appropriately and send a pull request. I'll merge it right away.
