Hi Daniel.

Taking the IBM PC's Character set as a base, I note the following currency symbols:
36 = US Dollars. 155 = US Cents, French/Belgian Centimes. 156 = British Pounds. 157 = Japanese Yen. 158 = Spanish Pesta. 159 = French/Belgian/Swiss Franc.
I don't see the symbol for the Euro in there, but I count SIX symbols, not the one you claim...
Best wishes from Riley.
