-`parse` will return `nil` if it is unable to parse the input. Use `parse!` instead if you want a `Monetize::Error` (or one of the subclasses) to be raised instead:
-
-```ruby
->> Monetize.parse('OMG 100')
-=> nil
-
->> Monetize.parse!('OMG 100')
-Monetize::ParseError: Unknown currency 'omg'

 Why does this work?  If we expect fractional subunits then the parser will treat a single

 this is not the case - a European site will show $10.000 because that's the local format.
 As a human, if this was a stock ticker we might expect fractional cents.  If it's a retail price we know it's actually an incorrect thousands separator.
