Here's the most elegant way I found to resolve this:

public static String convertDecimalToString (BigDecimal num){
    String ret = null;
    try {
        ret = num.toBigIntegerExact().toString();
    } catch (ArithmeticException e){
        num = num.setScale(2,BigDecimal.ROUND_UP); 
        ret = num.toPlainString();
    }
    return ret;
}
