Money

The Euro is the official currency of Spain. In Spain you will see prices listed as 25 €. On a UK keyboard if you want to make the € sign you can either press hold the Alt Gr key + the number 4 key (Alt Gr + 4) or you can press and hold the Alt key + type numbers 0128 (Alt + 0128). The placement of the € is often placed before the amount on UK websites, as we are used to seeing £ before any amounts, this is neither wrong, nor right, since no official recommendation is made with regards to placement, but should be noted other country’s that use the Euro, such as Ireland and Netherlands also place the € before the amount.
