Formatting numbers as currency

To do this formatting you must add:

import java.text.*;

Currency formatted for this location (let's assume it's English Canada)

// gives $123.45 as it appears in English Canada
// use a variable instead of 123.45

Currency formatted for a different location (in Java it's called a locale)

// Format
Locale locale = Locale.GERMANY;
String string = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale).format(123.45);
// appears as 123,45 DM
