Unfortunately thst makes no more sense than '八块毛', or in English, a phrase like '5 dollars cents'.
We're mostly used to currency that has two units: the main unit, and a hundredth of that unit. In Chinese currency there are three, but just like dollars and cents they are different units, and it only makes sense to say the name of the unit if there are some.
