Answer 2

Dojo has a currency formatter that's locale aware.

If you don't want to include Dojo in your project just for this function, then perhaps you can localize the currency in your back-end?

Answer 3

Number.toLocaleString (implemented in JavaScript 1.5, ECMAScript 3rd Edition)

var number = 3500;
console.log(number.toLocaleString()); /* Displays "3,500" in English locale */
