trouble with regex

[miguel lisboa]

i'm trying to validate this string representing money, and i want it to be like
xxxxxx
or
xxxx.n
or
xxxx.nn

so i'm using this method:

public static boolean valida(String valor)

throws NumberFormatException {

if ( valor.matches ( "[0-9] + (\\.[0-9]{1,2})" ) ) {

return true;

}

else return false;

}

but when i test, i allways get an assertion failed:

    public void testaValor() {
        
        assertTrue(Validacao.valida("2"));//or 2.8 or 2.14 or 20...
    
    }  

What am i doing wrong?

i found it out:
should be:

        if ( valor.matches ( "^[0-9]+(\\.[0-9]{1,2})?") ) {
