This is no problem at all. This is actually how Acrobat works.
The formatting is purely for display purposes, but the actual value remains what you see when the field has the focus (meaning that you are "in the field, ready to edit its content").
Now, if you look at your example, what you see formatted and what you see "raw" is the same value (numerically spoken). And for further calculations, they are the same.
If, for whatever reason, you need to work with the _string representation_ of the field value, you would have to initiate the formatting in an earlier event (for more about that see the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference, Event object section).
Hope, this can help.

Ok here is a problem that I can not figure out.
I have a field setup as a currency format. I then put this value into the field 1650.00 it formats the value to 1,650.00 but when I click on the field it changes the number to 1650 then when I leave the field it changes back.
