How to use Java's DecimalFormat for “smart” currency formatting?

Question

I\'d like to use Java\'s DecimalFormat to format doubles like so:

#1 - 100 -> $100
#2 - 100.5 -> $100.50
#3 - 100.41 -> $100.41

You could use the Java Money API to achieve this. (although this is not using DecialFormat)

long amountInCents = ...;
double amountInEuro = amountInCents / 100.00;

String customPattern; 
if (minimumOrderValueInCents % 100 == 0) {
    customPattern = "# ¤";
} else {
    customPattern = "#.## ¤";
}

Money minDeliveryAmount = Money.of(amountInEuro, "EUR");
MonetaryAmountFormat formatter = MonetaryFormats.getAmountFormat(AmountFormatQueryBuilder.of(Locale.GERMANY)
            .set(CurrencyStyle.SYMBOL)
            .set("pattern", customPattern)
            .build());

System.out.println(minDeliveryAmount);
