Pretty nice decimal format for polish currencies

Here is the simple sample code which converts pretty nice for example polish currencies to float and from float to polish format.
These are the spoiler results:
[java]DecimalUtil.getInstance().parse(“1 123,44) -> 1123.44[/java]
[java]DecimalUtil.getInstance().format(1123.44) -> 1 123,44[/java]

[java]
public class DecimalUtil {
private static DecimalUtil decimalUtil;
private final DecimalFormat decimalFormat;

private DecimalUtil() {
DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
symbols.setGroupingSeparator(‘ ‘);
this.decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat(“#,###.00”, symbols);
}

public static DecimalUtil getInstance() {

if (decimalUtil == null) {
decimalUtil = new DecimalUtil();
}
return decimalUtil;
}

public float parse(String amount) {
float v = 0;
try {
v = decimalFormat.parse(amount).floatValue();
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return v;
}

public String format(float amount) {
return decimalFormat.format(amount);
}
}
