Hacks

const amount = 0.99
const result = convert(`${amount}`) //  zero.ninety nine

const amount = '1,000.99'
const sanitized = amount.replace(/,/, '') //  1000.99

const amount = '123.123'
const [dollars, cents] = amount.split('.')
const result = `${convert(dollars)}.${convert(cents)}` // one hundred twenty threee.one hundred twenty three
