Answer 1

NSNumberFormatter * fmt;
NSNumber          * n;

fmt = [ [ NSNumberFormatter alloc ] init ];
n   = [ NSNumber numberWithFloat: 10 ];

[ fmt setFormatterBehavior: NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4 ];
[ fmt setCurrencySymbol: @"$" ];
[ fmt setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle ];

NSLog( @"%@", [ fmt stringFromNumber: n ];

[ fmt release ] /* Thanx willcodejavaforfood... My mistake ; ) */

Answer 2

I got the answer .. But for anyone's future reference

    -(IBAction)buttonPressed1:(id)sender
     {
    double currency = [Amount1.text doubleValue] + [Amount2.text doubleValue]; 
NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
NSString *numberAsString = [numberFormatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:currency]];
SumCurrency.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Converted:%@",numberAsString];  
    }
