    // E.g. Use currency formatter
    $currencyFormatter = new CurrencyFormat();
    $currencyFormatter->setCurrencyCode('USD');
    $currencyFormatter->setLocale('en_US');

    $value = 10000;

    $formattedValue = $currencyFormatter($value);

    var_dump($formattedValue); // Will output $ 1,000 with HTML entities such as &nbsp;

    // When this example will be useful?
    // In a select element of a form, as the value options are automatically echoed by the formRow view helper
    // the currency format needs to be set when the value options are assigned.
