  'USD'     => 1.11,
  'Bitcoin' => 0.0047
})

 

# Instantiate money objects:
 
fifty_eur = Money.new(50, 'EUR')
 
# Get amount and currency:
 
fifty_eur.amount   # => 50
fifty_eur.currency # => "EUR"
fifty_eur.inspect  # => "50.00 EUR"

 

# Convert to a different currency (should return a Money
# instance, not a String):
 
fifty_eur.convert_to('USD') # => 55.50 USD

 

# Perform operations in different currencies:
 
twenty_dollars = Money.new(20, 'USD')
 
# Arithmetics:
 
fifty_eur + twenty_dollars # => 68.02 EUR
fifty_eur - twenty_dollars # => 31.98 EUR
fifty_eur / 2              # => 25 EUR
twenty_dollars * 3         # => 60 USD

 

# Comparisons (also in different currencies):
 
twenty_dollars == Money.new(20, 'USD') # => true
twenty_dollars == Money.new(30, 'USD') # => false
 
fifty_eur_in_usd = fifty_eur.convert_to('USD')
fifty_eur_in_usd == fifty_eur          # => true
 
twenty_dollars > Money.new(5, 'USD')   # => true
twenty_dollars < fifty_eur             # => true
