Take the "euronum" edit I posted to this list a while back (the one
which did European numbers, with "," and "." usage swapped from the
American method), put the "," and "." back to American, and add an
accept-or-supply "$" at the start:

comma$   \ <$> ( N N N comma$2 | N N comma$2 | N comma$2 )
comma$2  [{ <,> N N N }] ( <.00> @ | "." NUM NUM )
