Suggestion to the development team for some upcoming cvs, milestone or release  :wink: :

Move the settings for decimal-point and thousands-separator from currency to language.

Why?
Because number-representation (amount or otherwise) is a language-dependant-attribute. It has nothing to do with currencies.

For instance: you in the US say 1,000.00, where we in Holland say 1.000,00 . It makes no difference whether we talk about dollars, euro's or cows (  8)  ).

I've set the decimal-point to comma with my only store-currency (&euro;  = Euro), but if you (as customer) choose English as the site-language this results in showing prices with decimal-comma on an English store.

One for the wish-list
