Convert String into integer value

Question

I need to make following string:

amount = "$163,852.06"

Like this:

16385206000

How can I do it, like I am following this method,:

money = "$163,852.06"
original_amount = ('').join(money[1:].split(','))
print(int(float(original_amount)))

But it is returning me:

16385206000 doesn't look like what it should be.

int(float(amount[1:].replace(',','')) * 100000)

It's because you're casting a floating point to an integer value, which rounds to the nearest full number. To achieve the value 16385206000, you could use int(float(original_amount) * 100000).
