Formatting Currency

I'm trying to display currency with ZERO decimal places... the book that I
bought says to use "C" for currency, with formats it traditionally (with 2
decimal places)
the other option was to use D0 (D-zero), which works as far as the decimal
is concerned, but doesn't add the $
should I concatenate a "$" to a amount in DO format? gotta be a better wayuse C0 ... which is the same as D0 with the "$"

the decimal place will be rounded.
