Dear Alan and Torsten,

Plural for euro #2 (permalink) Tue Apr 12, 2005 19:12 pm   Plural for euro
 

Although I'm neither Alan nor Torsten:

I suggest writing euro (100 euro)
"Euros" seems not to be official spelling.
(check EU website for further information)

Euros or Euro? #4 (permalink) Wed Apr 20, 2005 17:52 pm   Euros or Euro?
 

I think when you add the currency to a price, the plural form is used (The car costs 30.000 Euros.) However, I also agree with Michael - sometimes the singular form can be used in prices (this car is about 30.000 Euro.)
In compound nouns you use the singular form:
This is a two million Euro contract. Also, it probably makes sense to use the plural forms in questions like How many Euros have you spent on your education so far?
