The . is a common way in many countries (mainland European countries, IME) to indicate thousands places. So the proper reading with commas would be:

  $100,000
They also swap the . for a , in indicating the fractional part. So if it had some change associated it would be written as:

  $100.000,43
Compare to the typical English format:

  $100,000.43
