How to properly format currency on ios

Question

I\'m looking for a way to format a string into currency without using the TextField hack.

For example, i\'d like to have the number \"521242\" converted into \"5,212

Use the following code and it will resolve all your issues....

NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
NSString *numberAsString = [numberFormatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:[currency doubleValue]]];
