Didn't specify if number meant just digits, so did test with [[:digit:]\|"$"\"."\","]
That replaces digits and "$.,", but would replace them appearing elsewhere as well. Might also add "+-" as well. Also, in my test made font a mono font, since replacing digits with spaces would shift alignment. An example of the data might have been useful to come with a more complete answer.
