How to Format and Display Number to Currency in Java - Example Tutorial
Displaying financial amounts in the respective currency is a common requirement in Java-based E-commerce applications. For example, if you are selling products on-line globally, you will show price of products in their local currency rather than USD or some other currency. Storing price in every currency is not a good option because of maintenance, and more realistically fluctuation in exchange rates. That's why many of these applications prefer stores price of books, electronic goods, or whatever product they are selling in USD, and the responsibility of converting that price to local currency and displaying is left to client-side code. If your client is a Java-based client e.g. Swing GUI, Java FX client, or a JSP web page, you can use java.text.NumberFormat class to format currency in Java.
