Money 3.0.5  
\* Added Money#abs  
\* Updated Currency#subunit\_to\_unit documentation (it's an integer not a  
string)  
\* Fixed issue when exchanging currencies with different :subunit\_to\_unit  
values  
\* Added ability to pass a block to VariableExchangeBank#new or  
#exchange, specifying a custom truncation method  
\* Added optional currency argument to Numeric#to\_money  
\* Added optional currency argument to String#to\_money  
\* Numeric#to\_money now respects :subunit\_to\_unit  
\* Use '¤' as the default currency symbol

## Attention ##

Starting in v3.1.0 we will be making two changes to the exchange  
process. First  
a new `Bank::Base` class will be available. This will allow users to  
more  
easily create custom `Bank` classes. Secondly the default `#exchange`  
method  
will be depreciated and a new `#exchange_with` method will be used.  
Currently  
`#exchange` passes the `cents` attribute. `#exchange_with` will pass the  
actual `Money` object instead.
