There is no built-in function for that. You can use either use a third-party library or do this manually:

String.prototype.moneyStringPrettify = function(splitCount, separator) {
  var newString = "";
  for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) 
  {
    if (i > 0 && i % splitCount === 0) newString = separator + newString;
    newString = this[this.length - 1 - i] + newString;
  }
  return newString;
};

document.body.innerHTML = "1234567".moneyStringPrettify(3, ',') + "<br/>";
document.body.innerHTML += "123456".moneyStringPrettify(3, ',') + "<br/>";
document.body.innerHTML += "12345".moneyStringPrettify(3, ',') + "<br/>";

// Just another usage:
document.body.innerHTML += "1234567890".moneyStringPrettify(4, '-') + "<br/>";
