I like this idea a lot, and will probably use it! A few suggestions: 1) Expose a `Dinero` global on your docs page, so we can play around with it in the console. Other libraries do this and I love it. 2) Add something about file size (minified) to your docs page. I dug around a bit and it looks like it's around 4.4KB minified. 3) Would be nice to have types (TypeScript or Flow). If we end up using this, I will likely create and add Flow types to the `flow-typed` repository.

Another bit of caution: Watch out for currencies with more than 2 decimal places, like Bitcoin.

@idris_mokhtarzada You can specify the number of decimal places in v1.3.0 šŸŽ‰ https://github.com/sarahdayan/di...

Took me a while to find a link to the [Github] source.

@kehers It's on the PH page, but I've added a ribbon on the docs page now šŸ‘

Can you build a library for other cryptos as well:)? I like this very much.

@mkovacev I would first need to link into the specifics of cryptocurrencies but that's an idea šŸ™‚ Would probably make it a plugin for Dinero.

Hello @frontstuff_io ok I'm not a developer but soon I'll need something to work with double currencies in a online store, I was wondering what's the difference between Dinero.js and Money.js?

@mrdobelina Hey! Money.js is a currency conversion library, while Dinero.js allows you to create a data structure to represent, calculate and format monetary values. I've planned to implement currency conversion as well in the near future though. For now if you need currency conversion, you could probably use Dinero.js and Money.js together.

I just got an email about your product from the Changelog Nightly repo report - http://nightly.changelog.com/201... - this is amazing - great work! I would love to see Tyepscript typings included in the library, but I am sure the community will provide them if you prefer to work on the core :) Again - great job!

@paustint Thanks! The core needs some touch-ups before I can focus on TS or Flow alternatives, but I'm open to it!
