convert string from money format to float in js
<p>I'd like to convert a money formatted string into a float in javascript.</p>

<p>ex:
'$1,000.20' convert to a float 1000.20</p>

<p>'USD 1,000.20' convert to a float 1000.20</p>

<p>I'm also interested to know how to replace alphabetic characters to say '*'</p>

<p>How can this be implemented?</p>
