I don't think there is a way to do it that explicitly uses currency formatting, but you can use custom formatting using the # character: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx

This should work for U.S. currency:

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:$#.##}")]

The # character only represents a digit if it's needed.
