Hi John

Does this work for you?

```python
***test cases***

currency test
	${number} = Set Variable	160000
	${currstring} = Evaluate "{:,.0f} €".format(${number}).replace(',', ' ')
	Should Be Equal As Strings ${currstring} 160 000 €

```

The builtin [Evaluate](http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/BuiltIn.html#Evaluate) is pretty useful 👍🏼

Dave.
