>From the DecimalFormat JavaDoc (which <bean:write> uses) .... "The grouping separator is commonly used for thousands, but in some countries it separates ten-thousands. The grouping size is a constant number of digits between the grouping characters, such as 3 for 100,000,000 or 4 for 1,0000,0000. If you supply a pattern with multiple grouping characters, the interval between the last one and the end of the integer is the one that is used. So "#,##,###,####" == "######,####" == "##,####,####". "
So your format "##,##,##,##0.00" will use the "##0" to determine the group size is 3 - the same as your "default" pattern.
