If PreferDollars is False, "twelve seventy-five" is interpreted as $12.75. If PreferDollars is True, "twelve seventy-five" is interpreted as $1275.00

A spoken currency value is considered ambiguous under the following conditions:

• The value does not contain the words "dollar" or "centime."
• The value does not contain the words "hundred" or "thousand."
• The value ends in a numeric phrase represented by two digits, such as "twenty" or "forty-nine."
• The ending phrase is preceded by a numeric phrase represented by one or two digits, such as "one" or "ninety-nine."
