Details and limitations

Grammar follows each language: Russian, Ukrainian and Polish nouns change with the number (рубль, рубля, рублей), Spanish and Portuguese shorten un/um before the currency, French writes quatre-vingts and deux cents. Chinese amounts use the financial characters (壹贰叁…) with 元角分 and 整.

Spelling differs between style guides (hyphens in English, spaces after mille or milione). Check the result against the rules your bank or accountant requires; the converter does not round amounts.
