Weird float to string problem, trying to charge Stripe a 1/100000th of a penny

There's a problem with storing currency with float?

@bashy it's even weirder that no one else on my team has this problem. Works on dev server just fine too.

Confirmed: It's eloquent or my db. If it's a local problem it must be my db

What's the type of the price field? Is it DECIMAL?

@bonzai it was created as a float

    /**
     * Rounding the float on the way out of the db (Cause Dylan's db has downs)
     */
    public function getPriceAttribute($price)
    {
        return round($price, 2);
    }

Nah, don't use FLOAT to store monetary values. Try to change it to DECIMAL(8,2) or better – keep values in cents (INT field) and use:

Thanks for the pointer. Learning this lesson the hard way.
