Also take a look at NSCharacterSet's decimalDigitCharacterSet method.

There are other variations.  There are also variations of the thousands
separators.  For example, the number 10000 would be written "10.000" in
Argentina, "10 000" in Canada, "10,000" in USA, etc.  Be careful what you
assume, it's tricky. :(
