Velocity Number format issue

We are using velocity as template. We use NumberTool to format number in vm files.

For example

$!{NUMBER.format('#,##0',$!{amount})} 円

Expected output is for example 9,900円 . It works in almost 99.9999% of the cases. But sometimes for example once in a few months it displays as 9.900円 in our web page.

Does anyone face same problem ? Is there any bug in NumberTool related to Locale or some other issue?

or You can set Locale of you choice as 

VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();

NumberTool nt = new NumberTool();
HashedMap vp = new HashedMap();
vp.put("locale",new Locale("en","IN"));
nt.configure(vp);
context.put("numberTool", nt);

The decimals separator can depend on the locale. To avoid this, you can configure a specific locale to the number tool. For instance, when using a tools.xml file:

 <tool key="number" class="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.NumberTool" locale="en_US"/>

Or you can specify the Locale using Java:

numberTool.setLocale("en_US")
