Patrick Desjardins（前Daok）的例子对我很有用。如果有人感兴趣，我将其移植到CoffeeScript。

Number.prototype.toMoney = (decimals = 2, decimal_separator = ".", thousands_separator = ",") ->
    n = this
    c = if isNaN(decimals) then 2 else Math.abs decimals
    sign = if n < 0 then "-" else ""
    i = parseInt(n = Math.abs(n).toFixed(c)) + ''
    j = if (j = i.length) > 3 then j % 3 else 0
    x = if j then i.substr(0, j) + thousands_separator else ''
    y = i.substr(j).replace(/(\d{3})(?=\d)/g, "$1" + thousands_separator)
    z = if c then decimal_separator + Math.abs(n - i).toFixed(c).slice(2) else ''
    sign + x + y + z

处理货币输出（包括负数）的函数。样本输出：$5.23-$5.23

function formatCurrency(total) {
    var neg = false;
    if(total < 0) {
        neg = true;
        total = Math.abs(total);
    }
    return (neg ? "-$" : '$') + parseFloat(total, 10).toFixed(2).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,").toString();
}

+1向Jonathan M提供原始方法。由于这是一个明确的货币格式化程序，我继续在输出中添加了货币符号（默认为“$”），并添加了一个默认逗号作为千位分隔符。如果您实际上不需要货币符号（或千位分隔符），只需使用“”（空字符串）作为它的参数。

Number.prototype.formatMoney = function(decPlaces, thouSeparator, decSeparator, currencySymbol) {
    // check the args and supply defaults:
    decPlaces = isNaN(decPlaces = Math.abs(decPlaces)) ? 2 : decPlaces;
    decSeparator = decSeparator == undefined ? "." : decSeparator;
    thouSeparator = thouSeparator == undefined ? "," : thouSeparator;
    currencySymbol = currencySymbol == undefined ? "$" : currencySymbol;

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

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

一种仅满足原始要求的极简方法：

function formatMoney(n) {
    return "$ " + (Math.round(n * 100) / 100).toLocaleString();
}

@丹尼尔·马格廖拉：你说得对。以上是一个仓促而不完整的实施。以下是正确的实施方式：

function formatMoney(n) {
    return "$ " + n.toLocaleString().split(".")[0] + "."
        + n.toFixed(2).split(".")[1];
}

JavaScript中有一个内置函数toFixed：

var num = new Number(349);
document.write("$" + num.toFixed(2));

YUI代码库使用以下格式：

format: function(nData, oConfig) {
    oConfig = oConfig || {};

    if(!YAHOO.lang.isNumber(nData)) {
        nData *= 1;
    }

    if(YAHOO.lang.isNumber(nData)) {
        var sOutput = nData + "";
        var sDecimalSeparator = (oConfig.decimalSeparator) ? oConfig.decimalSeparator : ".";
        var nDotIndex;

        // Manage decimals
        if(YAHOO.lang.isNumber(oConfig.decimalPlaces)) {
            // Round to the correct decimal place
            var nDecimalPlaces = oConfig.decimalPlaces;
            var nDecimal = Math.pow(10, nDecimalPlaces);
            sOutput = Math.round(nData*nDecimal)/nDecimal + "";
            nDotIndex = sOutput.lastIndexOf(".");

            if(nDecimalPlaces > 0) {
                // Add the decimal separator
                if(nDotIndex < 0) {
                    sOutput += sDecimalSeparator;
                    nDotIndex = sOutput.length-1;
                }
                // Replace the "."
                else if(sDecimalSeparator !== "."){
                    sOutput = sOutput.replace(".",sDecimalSeparator);
                }
                // Add missing zeros
                while((sOutput.length - 1 - nDotIndex) < nDecimalPlaces) {
                    sOutput += "0";
                }
            }
        }

        // Add the thousands separator
        if(oConfig.thousandsSeparator) {
            var sThousandsSeparator = oConfig.thousandsSeparator;
            nDotIndex = sOutput.lastIndexOf(sDecimalSeparator);
            nDotIndex = (nDotIndex > -1) ? nDotIndex : sOutput.length;
            var sNewOutput = sOutput.substring(nDotIndex);
            var nCount = -1;
            for (var i=nDotIndex; i>0; i--) {
                nCount++;
                if ((nCount%3 === 0) && (i !== nDotIndex)) {
                    sNewOutput = sThousandsSeparator + sNewOutput;
                }
                sNewOutput = sOutput.charAt(i-1) + sNewOutput;
            }
            sOutput = sNewOutput;
        }

        // Prepend prefix
        sOutput = (oConfig.prefix) ? oConfig.prefix + sOutput : sOutput;

        // Append suffix
        sOutput = (oConfig.suffix) ? sOutput + oConfig.suffix : sOutput;

        return sOutput;
    }
    // Still not a number. Just return it unaltered
    else {
        return nData;
    }
}

它需要编辑，因为YUI库是可配置的，比如用“.”替换oConfig.decimalSeparator。
