A PHP library implementing Fowler's Money pattern as a value object for safe monetary calculations, avoiding float rounding errors by using string-backed big integers. It includes currency repositories, money formatting, allocation, and exchange rate support via Swap.

Use cases

• store and calculate monetary values without float errors
• convert between currencies with exchange rates
• split an amount into parts without losing cents
• format money amounts for display with intl
• work with ISO currencies in PHP
• handle very large monetary values with big integers

When to choose

• you're building a PHP application dealing with payments, billing, or prices
• you need exact arithmetic on monetary values
• you need currency conversion or allocation logic

When to avoid

• your project is not in PHP
• you only need simple display formatting without arithmetic
• you need a full accounting or ledger system rather than a value object
