Shay, you can try this code:
import locale
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.filter()
def currency(value):
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
return locale.currency(value, grouping=True)
Also, in your template you should add this line near the top:
{% load filters %}
Let me know if this doesn't work.
Cheers,
Alex
