That's why we refactored the whole thing into a lib class:
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/master/lib/Cake/Utility/CakeNumber.php
App::uses('CakeNumber', 'Utility');
$formattedNumber = CakeNumber::currency($value, $currency);
It is documented quite thorougly, by the way:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/number.html#CakeNumber::currency
