Convert VARCHAR to money value

Ok i know this is simple but i just don't know the syntax. What I have
is a bunch of values and i want to be able to display them as money
values with a $ in front.
eg.
16000000
1000
160000
TO THIS
$16,000,000.00
$1000.00
$16,000.000
I'm using MS SQL 2000
CheersI guess it's not straight forward by just using convert function to change
datatype to money.
You need to write a function which will append $ and will separate thousands
with comma.

Ideally, this formatting would be done in your front-end application (or
reporting tool), rather than being formatted by SQL.
