I would recommend using a locale-specific currency format instead

NumberFormat currencyFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.getDefault());

Better I18N that way.

Check out the Java API: NumberFormat. It will show how to use predefined formats top achieve your goal.

Try something like this:

import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

Locale locale = new Locale("en", "UK");
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);//use Locale.getDefault() if you didn't know the type
System.out.println(fmt.format(100.00));

This will print: £100.00
