There is no way to change this in the API, it handles only micros
(exception are reports, they return normal currencies in their CSV or
XML).
Your undefined 'to_f' method exception gets thrown because
'campaign.budget.amount' is a Money object and not a number.
To get the microAmount, you should call
'campaign.budget.amount.microAmount' and divide it by 1000000.0.
So, to give you an example:
#campaign_controller
#dividing by a float makes the number a float
campaign_data.budget = campaign.budget.amount.microAmount / 1000000.0
#campaign view
#the sprintf method makes the number a float with 2 decimals and
returns it as a string
<p>campaign budget: $ <%= sprintf("%.2f", campaign_data.budget) -%></
p>
I hope this helps!
