This is related to an old post. This time I have translated it from C/C++ to Java and modified it a little bit. Now it takes as input additional parameters of currency-Note, currency-Coin and coin-Places. It is open sourced under Apache Software license 2.0. Source code can be found on Github.

Number-to-Words-in-Java is a program that takes as input a number and outputs the same number in English words form. It will be useful in situations like Bank Cheque printing. I was able to embed it in a Jaspersoft Studio Report, as shown in screen shots below.
