How to format variable in template as currency?

I am trying to format a string in a template to display as a currency. {{ object.cost }}
Would I be able to do something like "${:,.2f}".format({{ object.cost }}) in the template?

>Solution :

You can try to use floatformat filter:

{{ object.cost|floatformat:2 }}

where 2 means two decimals.

As, Django templates: output float with all decimal places
