Currency Formatter Guide
Format a number as a currency amount with thousand separators and a symbol, in Indonesian or English style.
A short companion for Currency Formatter: when it is useful, what it expects, and what to check before using the result.
What it does
Turn a plain number into a readable money amount, or the other way round. Pick the symbol, the separator style and how many decimals to show, and the page writes the formatted value. It also reads a value you paste, so 1.250.000 and 1,250,000.50 both come back as numbers before being reformatted the way you want.
Use the tool
Open Currency Formatter, add the input the tool asks for, run it, and check the output before using it elsewhere.

Questions
Why do the separators matter?
Indonesian uses a dot for thousands and a comma for decimals, the reverse of English. Sending 1.250 to a reader who expects English looks like one and a quarter, so the style switch keeps the amount unambiguous.
What does the decimal places box do?
It pins the number of digits after the decimal mark. Leave it blank and whole numbers show none while fractional ones show two; set it to 0 to round rupiah to the nearest whole unit.
Does it add a currency code?
No. It only knows the symbol you pick, so Rp and $ are distinguished by shape alone. Use a code such as IDR or USD when a machine has to read the value.
