handling -ve currency in $number.format('currency',$myNumber) in velocity templates

 Hi ,
 If I use the  $number.format('currency',$myNumber) for a -ve number,
 the output becomes ($number)
 
 $myNumber                                                 -> -13.55
 $number.format('currency',$myNumber)    ->  ( $13.55) 
 
 How to show with -ve sign  without parenthesis bracket after
formatting?
Regards
Kailash

I'm not sure what a "-ve sign" is, but you can give NumberTool a
custom format like this:
  $number.format('$0.00',$myNumber)
