The symbol for the euro and other currencies comes immediately before the number.

Place the abbreviation for a currency before the amount and insert a non-breaking space between them so that the abbreviation and the number representing the amount never become separated at line breaks. To do this in a Word document, first write the currency abbreviation and the amount all together (e.g.,
EUR3,600,
GBP571) and then position your cursor between the abbreviation and the amount (
EUR|3,600 and
GBP|571) and press
Control+
Shift+
Space. To do this in an HTML document, insert the entity
in that same position.

The cent or pence symbol comes directly after the number (e.g.,
50¢ or
50p). However, there is no official cent symbol for the euro, so write
€0.50.
If you need to abbreviate large amounts such as million (
m) or billion (
bn), place the symbol or abbreviation for the currency before the amount and insert a non-breaking space before
m or
bn.
