It costs £ 12,345,678.90
If not (and if you are not in the middle east region), then it is the other way round:
Es kostet € 12.345.678,90

But when you put numbers in a list, the list separator consists of two characters, a comma and a space (or a tab or another white character):
These are the earnings of the last 4 month:
9,580.17, 8,845.37, 12,052.04, 10,522.86.

9.580,17, 8.845,37, 12.052,04, 10.522,86.
It is clear in both cases, and I would say the readability is equal.
But if you want to make it even more clear, you can use a semicolon as separator:
9,580.17; 8,845.37; 12,052.04; 10,522.86
9.580,17; 8.845,37; 12.052,04; 10.522,86
