I am sure your soluation is correct. Please add this method as workarond created by Steven Branson

static String fakeFormatter(BigDecimal price) {
      String pString = String.valueOf(price);
      return String.format("$%s,%s",
      pString.substring(0, pString.indexOf('.')),
      pString.substring(pString.indexOf('.') + 1, pString.indexOf('.') + 3));
  }

then edit this line below

String.format("%s (%s)", fakeFormatter(price), currentCurrency.getDisplayName());
