title: Text placeholder for currency input using Inputmask
body: <p>I want to have a text placeholder for a currency input field using Input mask. </p>
  
  <p>When the input value is empty, I want to display "Other" but as soon as the user begins typing it should mask the input to US dollars. </p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>$(function() {
    $('#otheramount').inputmask({
      alias: 'currency',
      digits: 2,
      rightAlign: 0
    })
  })</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/RobinHerbots/Inputmask@3.3/dist/jquery.inputmask.bundle.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;input id="otheramount" placeholder="Other" name="otheramount" data-_extension-text-contrast="" type="text"&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>The <a href="https://github.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask#placeholder" rel="nofollow noreferrer">placeholder</a> option is for masked input characters not for when the value of the input is empty. </p>
