Numbers written in English / French


This is a number written in English: "2,148.20". How would it be expressed in French?

2.148,20

2 148,20

Both were given as the answer in one of my tests, but in the lesson you say that a full stop can be used to separate thousands - although this is rarely used. And I have never seen it written with a full stop between thousands. 

So, isn't it a bit misleading to give that as an option when it is not used in day to day life?
