Summary:
iOS appears to behave very strangely when asking it to speak money amounts that starts with $13 or $14. It speaks most money amounts exactly as one would expect. For example, “$42 million” is spoken as “42 million dollars” which is expected. However, it appears to speak incorrectly when the money amount starts with either “$13” or “$14” and ends in either “million”, “billion”, or “trillion”. The number part could be anything from “13.x”, “14.x”, “13x”, “14x”, “13”, “14” where “x” is any digit. Steps below include some examples and how to reproduce this issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable “Speak Selection” in Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Speech -> Speak Selection
2. Open Notes and type in the following:
```
$13.3 million

$14.3 million

$13.3 billion

$14.3 billion

$134 million

$143 million

$134 billion

$143 billion
```
3. Select all the text, then tap on “Speak” in the menu



Expected Results:
The following should be spoken:
```
13 point 3 million dollars
14 point 3 million dollars
13 point 3 billion dollars
14 point 3 billion dollars
134 million dollars
143 million dollars
134 billion dollars
143 billion dollars
```

Actual Results:
The following are actually spoken:
```
13 dollars and dollar sign 2 0 cents million
14 dollars and dollar sign 2 0 cents million
13 dollars and dollar sign 2 0 cents billion
