Why is the money filter not displaying cents in my price reduction calculation?

Technical Q&A

I am trying to format a price after reducing it by 15% using the “money” filter like this:

{{ item.price | times: 0.85 | money }}

The cost of the item is $999, or 99900 in liquid terms. When I times it by .85, it returns 84915 if I do it like this

{{ item.price | times: 0.85 }}

So, if I add the “money” filter, I would expect to get $849.15. Instead, I get a flat $849.

Any reason why it wouldn’t return the decimal portion from “money”?

Never mind. I realized this was due to the global settings. The previous admin had set the HTML currency setting to ${{amount_no_decimals}} USD.
