Issues with fakerjs generating decmial bumber by template

I have an issues with faker.fake() generating decimal value from template

const a = faker.finance.amount(9, 100, 4); // all good
const b = faker.fake('{{finance.amount(9, 100, 4)}}'); // always NaN

However things like 

const c = faker.fake('{{random.number}}') // all good

works just fine ^.

I am using fakerjs 4.1.0

Thoughts?

This seems to be a bug inside faker.js, so you will have to use finance.amount directly and not faker.fake.

If you read the faker.js source, you can see it uses call:

this.fake = function fake (str) {
    ...
    result = fn.call(this, params);
    ...
}

If you call faker.fake('{{finance.amount(9, 100, 4)}}'); it will internally try to call faker.finance.amount("9, 100, 4"); which results in NaN.

There seems to be no way to pass three arguments to finance.amount using faker.fake.
