My model is returning a Decimal(1234567.50), I can't seem to display the Decimal with a thousands separator. Does Django have a way to do this? Do I need to create my own template filter?
Thanks.

One easy way is to import locale and do the formatting in your view function.
Even easier to read this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/#overview
For format localization, it’s just necessary to set USE_L10N = True in your settings file. If USE_L10N is set to True, Django will display numbers and dates in the format of the current locale. That includes field representation on templates, and allowed input formats on the admin.
Add humanize to the installed apps in settings.py and load it in the template.
{% load humanize %}
{{ my_num|intcomma }}
You could add the following to settings.py:
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = True
That should work and you don't have to act with loading stuff. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/settings/#use-thousand-separator
