alter system set nls_numeric_characters = ".'" scope = spfile; crashes instance

 Hello

I want to explicitly set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS  to ".'",
i.e. the decimal separator should be a point (.) and
the group separator should be a single quote (').

When I do

sqlplus / as sysdba
alter system set nls_numeric_characters = ".'" scope = spfile;
shutdown immediate
startup

the instance comes up, but the nls_numeric_characters parameter
(in 'nls_instance_parameters') is corrupted, e.g. showing a value
of "SWITZERLAND'" (note the single quotation mark)

When I shutdown and start up the instance again I get the error

ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00121: ',' is not an allowable value for 'RECYCLEBIN'

Howdy, Stranger!
