How do I format text as currency?

I don't seem to find an easy way to simply format text. Some thing like moneyText = "$"&str(moneyValue)

Looking for something like $ 35.37 or $35.40 the 35.40 gives me 35.4 want to see both decimal places.

Thanks in advance for any help.

"$"&int(moneyValue)&"."&int((moneyValue-int(moneyValue))*100) should return the good value I think.
