@vikram06 The example does not evaluate your input, it just treats it as a string.

If you pass "100+1" as a string to formatMoney, i.e. accounting.formatMoney('100+1') it will return "1,001.00". This is because any non numeric input will be unformatted before it is processed, and unformatting removes any unnecessary symbols. This may be by design, it can be useful to remove extra symbols in a number of situations.

I think they should just specify that your input will be treated as string in the docs.
