Thanks for the response.

It'd probably be a good idea to clarify this (intended) behavior in
the API docs, as the 'type Money' docs are unclear regarding the
specifics of this behavior.  Also, the error type is a bit confusing,
as the failure type may imply that the error is a data type problem
rather than a currency denomination issue / API bidding limitation.

Thanks!
