Well, I don't know what the OP usually does, but maybe he goes to a website somewhere, highlight a a table or something and then paste it into calc? Of course he could then do a Search/Replace to get rid of the thousands separator and the dollar sign, and form there it is probably quite a lot easier to do the rest. But it feels like that's at least one step too much… It's easy to create a macro that does all the necessary Search/Replace steps in one single step, though.
