title: Is JSR-354 Money API ready for production usage?
body: <p>Nowadays, i'm doing research about which data type would be proper for money/currency in Java 8.</p>
  
  <p>I've encountered JSR-354 specification for data types and operations on money/currency
  data. Reference implementation with its API is here: <a href="https://github.com/JavaMoney" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/JavaMoney</a></p>
  
  <p>I've tried to learn the api on version <em>0.9</em> through examples on the web. It was cool and easy. But
  when i updated the version of api to <em>1.0</em>, then i realized that core builder classes 
  such <code>MonetaryCurrencies</code>, <code>MonetaryAmounts</code> and <code>MonetaryFunctions</code> class that contains monetary functions have been removed completely instead of being marked as <strong>Deprecated</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Is it normal to do such huge changes on the API? Has anyone tried JavaMoney Api in production?</p>
  
  <p>What's your recommendations other than <code>BigDecimal</code> and <code>java.util.Currency</code> for representing money/currency data?</p>
