If we want custom thousands separator or decimal separator, use replace():

123456.78.format(2).replace(',', ' ').replace('.', ' ');

... or replace the function with this one :

Number.prototype.format = function (precision, thousandSep, decimalSep) {
  thousandSep = thousandSep || ',';
  decimalSep = decimalSep || '.';

  if (!isFinite(this)) {
    return this.toString();
  }

  var a = this.toFixed(precision).split('.');
  a[0] = a[0].replace(/\d(?=(\d{3})+$)/g, '$&' + thousandSep);
  return a.join(decimalSep);
}

I took half a line of your code and it fixed a problem i just faced that when I had let's say 1234 my code converted it to $ 1,234.00 just fine, but when I had 4000, it came off as 4,0.00, so it was shrinking the thousans portion to just 1 zero.
Here's my code just in case:
function formatToMoney(amount) {
return "$ " + amount.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",").slice(0, -4);
}
