How to pronounce US$1.1931

Dear Teacher,

In one sentence US$1.1931 is read as one point one nine three one US dollars, but US$1.932 is read as one dollar nineteen thirty-two US.

What is the difference between them? Why is the plural form dollars used? Because it's only one dollar? When should we used the plural dollars? Please explain carefully. Thank you.
