Another question came to my mind: are stock shares supposed to be
formatted as monetary or regular numerical values?

For most locales these are the same, but for some there is a difference,
for example accordingly to the locale definition in hi_IN locale the
number one million is formatted as "10,00,000" if it is a monetary
value, but as "100,000" if it is just a number.

Thank you.
