Ok, The reason I wasparsing it back in was to convert it from a String to an integer. I think I have fixed part of the problem. My code now looks like this:
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyFormat(); String formatted = fmt.format(discountAmount); discountAmount = Integer.parse(formatted); However, it now comes up with US$2.57...How do I get it to remove the US$ part?!
