Well it is but it depends on your locale as to where you might see the comma in the first place ; eg. "1234.56" might be displayed as "1,234.56" or "1 234,56" depending on the locale. (UK vs French in my example).
(and locale settings are "everywhere" (for that user) the show separator is per field (but for everyone if done in the admin settings))
In this case I would actually guess that the right answer is more show separator than locale though, since the OP was not particularly specific with the question, I was just mentioning locale as a bit of additional info.
