Can't multiply a number with a `NumString`

Hie guys I thought the float and the int method converted the instance in put in NumString to enable the method to multiply with the number inputed

numstring.py 
class NumString:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = str(value)

    def __str__(self):
         return self.value

    def __int__(self):
        return int(self.value)

    def __float__(self):
        return float(self.value)

    def __add__(self, other):
        if '.' in self.value:
            return float(self) + other
        return int(self) + other

    def __radd__(self, other):
        return self + other

    def __iadd__(self, other):
        self.value = self + other
        return self.value

    def __mul__(self,other):
        if "." in self.value:
            return float(self) * other
        return int(self) * other

    def __rmul__(self,other):
        return self.value * other

    #def __imul__(self,other):
        #self.value = self * other
       # return self.value
