We have cash_words:

    test=> SELECT cash_words('100');
                 cash_words
    ------------------------------------
     One hundred dollars and zero cents
    (1 row)

but that is money-oriented.

Hi,

You can use what bruce has suggested and get the value you want.

eg.

select trim(substring(cash_words('1520'), 1, position('dollars' in cash_words('1520'))-1));

will return you

One thousand five hundred twenty (But ofcourse this eg. does not work for decimals)

Hi,

So how would it look like if you say "1520.50" what should it return you back?
