Formatting a number to currency in Java

import java.text.NumberFormat;
// Get a currency formatter for the current locale.
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
System.out.println(fmt.format(120.00));


If your current locale is in the US, the println will print $120.00

Another example:
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;
Locale locale = new Locale("en", "UK");
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
System.out.println(fmt.format(120.00));


This will print: £120.00
