The best way to format money value in the JSP view is to use JSTLs.

For example:

<fmt:formatNumber currencySymbol="$" type="number" maxIntegerDigits="2" value="${balance}" />

In your case you may have to set a different pattern (to display the space after each 3 numbers)

mmh... seems that you can't do it directly with jstl :( here is another dirty option: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15087544/can-jstl-fmtformatnumber-be-used-to-get-this-output-1-234-56 or you can create your own tag – ianaz Feb 18 '14 at 10:31

if you are working with jsf you can use

<h:outputText id="balance" value="#{accountBean.balance}">
    <f:convertNumber currencySymbol="$" groupingUsed="true"
                     maxFractionDigits="2" type="currency" />
</h:outputText>

jsfToolBox converNumber

Another example specifiying locale:

<h:outputText value="#{llistaV.importTotal}"rendered="#{llistaV.importTotal != null}">
 <f:convertNumber currencySymbol="$" maxFractionDigits="2" type="currency" locale="es-ES"/>
    <!-- pattern="###,###.###$" -->
</h:outputText>
