# "$2,423,562,534,234"
# format_currency("2423562534234.876", "$", 0)
# "$2,423,562,534,234"
# format_currency("2423562534234.876", "$", 2)
# "$2,423,562,534,234.88"
# format_currency("2423562534234", "¥", 2)
# "¥2,423,562,534,234.00"
# format_currency() is vectorized and can accept vector arguments
format_currency(c("2423562534234", "20"), c("¥", "$"), c(1, 2))
# "¥2,423,562,534,234.0" "$20.00"
