Quick Question on GUI Output

I have a quick question, I am just learning Java and in my current program I need to create a GUI. My code compiles and works just fine. But the line:

Displays in the format: 2.4000000234

How to I change this to display as currency so it shows: $2.40

Value is a double, and when using the "System.out.printf" it displays just fine. Any help is greatly appreciated.
