已经有好的答案了。这里有一个简单的乐趣尝试：

function currencyFormat(no) {
  var ar = (+no).toFixed(2).split('.');
  return [
      numberFormat(ar[0] | 0),
      '.',
      ar[1]
  ].join('');
}


function numberFormat(no) {
  var str = no + '';
  var ar = [];
  var i  = str.length -1;

  while(i >= 0) {
    ar.push((str[i-2] || '') + (str[i-1] || '') + (str[i] || ''));
    i = i-3;
  }
  return ar.reverse().join(',');
}

然后运行一些示例：

console.log(
  currencyFormat(1),
  currencyFormat(1200),
  currencyFormat(123),
  currencyFormat(9870000),
  currencyFormat(12345),
  currencyFormat(123456.232)
)

请尝试以下代码

"250000".replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, '$1,');

答案：250000

Patrick热门答案的CoffeeScript：

Number::formatMoney = (decimalPlaces, decimalChar, thousandsChar) ->
  n = this
  c = decimalPlaces
  d = decimalChar
  t = thousandsChar
  c = (if isNaN(c = Math.abs(c)) then 2 else c)
  d = (if d is undefined then "." else d)
  t = (if t is undefined then "," else t)
  s = (if n < 0 then "-" else "")
  i = parseInt(n = Math.abs(+n or 0).toFixed(c)) + ""
  j = (if (j = i.length) > 3 then j % 3 else 0)
  s + (if j then i.substr(0, j) + t else "") + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + t) + (if c then d + Math.abs(n - i).toFixed(c).slice(2) else "")

UPDATE这是我自己开发的应用程序，用于最常见的任务：

var NumUtil = {};

*/
NumUtil.pp = function(num, signif) {
    if (typeof(num) !== "number")
        throw 'NumUtil.pp: num is not a number!';
    if (isNaN(num))
        throw 'NumUtil.pp: num is NaN!';
    if (num < 1e-15 || num > 1e15)
        return num;
    var r = Math.log(num)/Math.LN10;
    var dot = Math.floor(r) - (signif-1);
    r = r - Math.floor(r) + (signif-1);
    r = Math.round(Math.exp(r * Math.LN10)).toString();
    if (dot >= 0) {
        for (; dot > 0; dot -= 1)
            r += "0";
        return r;
    } else if (-dot >= r.length) {
        var p = "0.";
        for (; -dot > r.length; dot += 1) {

        }
        return p+r;
    } else {
        return r.substring(0, r.length + dot) + "." + r.substring(r.length + dot);
    }
}

/** Append leading zeros up to 2 digits. */
NumUtil.align2 = function(v) {
    if (v < 10)
        return "0"+v;
    return ""+v;
}
/** Append leading zeros up to 3 digits. */
NumUtil.align3 = function(v) {
    if (v < 10)
        return "00"+v;
    else if (v < 100)
        return "0"+v;
    return ""+v;

NumUtil.integer = {};

/** Round to integer and group by 3 digits. */

    num = Math.round(num);
    var group = num % 1000;
    var integ = Math.floor(num / 1000);
    if (integ === 0) {
        return group;
    }
    num = NumUtil.align3(group);

            return group + " " + num;
        num = NumUtil.align3(group) + " " + num;
    }
    return num;
}

NumUtil.currency = {};

/** Round to coins and group by 3 digits. */
NumUtil.currency.pp = function(amount) {
    if (typeof(amount) !== "number")
        throw 'NumUtil.currency.pp: amount is not a number!';

    if (amount < 0)
        throw 'Negative amount!';
    if (amount < 1e-2)
        return 0;
    var v = Math.round(amount*100);
    var integ = Math.floor(v / 100);
    var frac = NumUtil.align2(v % 100);
    var group = integ % 1000;

        amount = NumUtil.align3(group) + " " + amount;
    }
    return amount;
}

这是我的。。。

function thousandCommas(num) {
  num = num.toString().split('.');
  var ints = num[0].split('').reverse();
  for (var out=[],len=ints.length,i=0; i < len; i++) {
    if (i > 0 && (i % 3) === 0) out.push(',');
    out.push(ints[i]);
  }
  out = out.reverse() && out.join('');
  if (num.length === 2) out += '.' + num[1];
  return out;
}

这里是XMLilley提供的代码的mootools1.2实现。。。

Number.implement('format', function(decPlaces, thouSeparator, decSeparator){
decPlaces = isNaN(decPlaces = Math.abs(decPlaces)) ? 2 : decPlaces;
decSeparator = decSeparator === undefined ? '.' : decSeparator;
thouSeparator = thouSeparator === undefined ? ',' : thouSeparator;

var num = this,
    sign = num < 0 ? '-' : '',
    i = parseInt(num = Math.abs(+num || 0).toFixed(decPlaces)) + '',
    j = (j = i.length) > 3 ? j % 3 : 0;

return sign + (j ? i.substr(0, j) + thouSeparator : '') + i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, '$1' + thouSeparator) + (decPlaces ? decSeparator + Math.abs(num - i).toFixed(decPlaces).slice(2) : '');
});
