Here is the code according to your input and output::

The output of the program is $12,345.67 for both BigDecimal and number and it works for float also.

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols;

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
        symbols.setGroupingSeparator(',');
        String pattern = "$#,##0.###";
        DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat(pattern, symbols);
        BigDecimal bigDecimal = new BigDecimal("12345.67");

        String bigDecimalConvertedValue = decimalFormat.format(bigDecimal);
        String convertedValue = decimalFormat.format(12345.67);

        System.out.println(bigDecimalConvertedValue);
        System.out.println(convertedValue);
    }
}
