Grid not supporting double/decimal fields

I am using a grid component and the data source is a list of a class, in which some of the fields have to be double or decimal.  However, whenever I try to use these fields I get the following error in the Chrome console:

Error: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Error converting value 0.01 to type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object]'. Path '', line 1, position 4. ---> System.ArgumentException: Could not cast or convert from System.Double to System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object].

Not sure if it matters, but I am specifying a row template and was hoping to use aggregates but I at the moment I had to make a compatible class which converts all the double/decimal values to strings.
