As far as i know, "2 cent" would have been equivalent... ;-)

But while we are at this topic: Siemens-Nixdorf has announced to ship its
computer keyboards with the EURO symbol located on the "E" key (AltGr-E).

OS/2 supports it already (with the latest fixpacks); Win* does not. So where
do we place the EURO symbol in the charset? Simply deferring to the pending
allocation in the Unicode charset seems not sufficient to me: Just 8 months
to go until it becomes reality (in the corporate and banking sector at least).
