How do you type the Euro symbol?
 

What magic combination of letters do I need to push to get the Euro symbol?

ctrl+alt+4

there you go.

Why is this not working for me? Probably operator error.....

I don't think ctrl alt will work on most keyboards. I hold down the alt key and then type 0128 on the numeric keypad. I must use the numeric pad; otherwise I get nothing. €

For Macs it's shift+option+2

€

Could be Alt Gr + 4

bob's suggestion works for me

wouldn't it be different whether one is on a UK/European/US/etc keyboards (?) since they have £, €, or $ in different places -- so getting other currencies would also be different (just guessing)

I can't help since you are probably on a pc. On a US mac its just shift+opt+2 like Judi says

FWIW, on my pc Bob's suggestion works well.

Take out the spaces between & euro ; (semicolon) and there you go. Also & pound ; btw.

€ £

€ Alt 0128 works! Yea!!! Thanks all! € € €

On a European keyboard, it is a simple AltGr + E.

What happens if you C&P "€"?

Gosh, here we are in 1983 again! You can change the interface, but good old ASCII is sitting there doing the work!

Akislander, maybe you can show me how to do it on my TRS-80 from Radio Shack.

€

ampersand
"euro"
semicolon

€ £

Thanks for the info. Now I can stop typing E and GBP like a dork. :)

Take a look at a whole long list of "alt + xyz" or "alt + 0xyz" codes, here:

Oh my god, I just realized the "pound" symbol has vanished from the german keyboards. The $ is still where it's supposed to be, above the "4". How long will it take before the $ disappears, and with which symbol will it be replaced?

The way the exchange rate is going you won't be able to see the $ on your keyboard soon.
