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.
