How can I remove AutoNumeric formatting before submitting form?

Question

I'm using the jQuery plugin AutoNumeric but when I submit a form, I can't remove the formatting on the fields before POST.

I tried to use $('input').autonumeric('destroy') (and other methods) but it leaves the formatting on the text fields.

How can I POST the unformatted data to the server? How can I remove the formatting? Is there an attribute for it in the initial config, or somewhere else?

I don't want to send the serialized form data to the server (with AJAX). I want to submit the form with the unformatted data like a normal HTML action.

I wrote a better, somewhat more general hack for this in jQuery

$('form').submit(function(){
    var form = $(this);
    $('input').each(function(i){
        var self = $(this);
        try{
            var v = self.autoNumeric('get');
            self.autoNumeric('destroy');
            self.val(v);
        }catch(err){
            console.log("Not an autonumeric field: " + self.attr("name"));
        }
    });
    return true;
});

This code cleans form w/ error handling on not autoNumeric values.
