Try running this code:


import java.text.*;

public class A {
  public static void main(String args[]){
    NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
    try {
     Number number = f.parse("$456.66i");
     System.out.println( "test1 = "+ f.format(number));

     number = f.parse("$456.6,6.43,4.");
     System.out.println( "test2 = "+ f.format(number));

     number = f.parse("$4Thisisveryunusualdollaramountthatstillgetsparsed!!!5666.44");
     System.out.println( "test3 = "+ f.format(number));
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
     System.out.println("Exception: "+e);
    }
  }
}


All the currency numbers used for parsing, contain characters that are not
supposed to be there, but .parse() method still doesn't throw exception.
