Consider the string. 

    NSString *str = @"$2,000.00";

Create a number formatter.

    NSNumberFormatter *nf = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];

The "important thing".

    [nf setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];

"Here is what you want".

    NSNumber *number = [nf numberFromString:str];
    float f = [number floatValue];

And of course, release the number formatter.

    [nf release];

You could use the same formatter to get an NSNumber object representing the float value using numberFromString:. The call floatValue on the NSNumber object.

NSString objects are the ones that have methods like floatValue. But after removing the $ sign from the string.
