On notes from foreign lands, I'm sure I still have some Libyan Dinars...

CTRL+ALT+4 works on my keyboard. (Set to UK layout)

Thanks guys for all the hints. The only one that worked is "copy-and-paste." I'm using a Mac PowerBook G4 laptop running OS 10.4.11 and using Firefox as my browser. I found out I can open up 'Special Characters' from the menu bar and insert the € from there. The Unicode code is 20AC and I'm trying to find a way where I can insert it using a keyboard shortcut rather than having to use the drop down list. Learn by doing, eh? :)

Is that the actual colour scheme or have you messed about with the colours? I've only ever seen £2 coins in the normal colours.

Don't worry, it'll get worse before it gets better. :( Remember, we're all in this together ... except some of them. What do you make of Gideon's latest lies, that he's shocked by how much tax avoidance goes on. He's bloody loaded and has a dirty great trust fund. If the trust's accountants didn't do all the tax planning they could think of, they'd be sacked PDQ.
Keep on skirting,

Unfortunately, I think that that applies to this side of the pond also... :(
