I tried to get Datasette to display $10,000 using the new units support but we currently only display units as a suffix:

It would be neat if there was a mechanism for specifying a custom unit display - maybe something like this:

{ "custom_units": { "us_dollar": { "unit": "us_dollar = [] = $", "format": "${:,}" } } }
