<asp:Literal id="Literal1" runat="server"></asp:Literal>

use javascript:
<scrip language="javascript">
<!--
function formatCurrency(num) {
                  d=new Date()
                  if (d.getTimezoneOffset( ) > 60) currSign='$'
                  else currSign='£'

                  num = num.toString().replace(/\$|\,/g,'');
                  if(isNaN(num))
                        num = "0";
                  sign = (num == (num = Math.abs(num)));
                  num = Math.floor(num*100+0.50000000001);
                  cents = num%100;
                  num = Math.floor(num/100).toString();
                  if(cents<10)
                        cents = "0" + cents;
                  for (var i = 0; i < Math.floor((num.length-(1+i))/3); i++)
                        num = num.substring(0,num.length-(4*i+3))+','+
                              num.substring(num.length-(4*i+3));
                  return (((sign)?'':'-') + currSign + num + '.' + cents);
            }
//-->
</script>

Then inside your Page_Load put the following code:

Literal1.Attributes.Add("onload","javascript:formatCurrency(this.value);")
