Bobby,
I think this is what you want:
import java.math.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class BigDecimalFormatTest {
public static void main (String[] args) {
double [] nums = {71.715,71.725,71.735,71.745,71.755,71.765,71.775,71.785,
71.795};
NumberFormat form;
form = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; ++i) {
BigDecimal theNumber = new BigDecimal (Double.toString(nums[i]));
theNumber = theNumber.setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_UP);
System.out.println(form.format(theNumber));
}
}
}
The key here is the double conversion to BigDecimal and setting the rounding
mode to half_up. The reason you weren't getting what you thought you should
is because DecimalFormat uses the half_even rounding mode.
