Note: The Euro (€) is the official currency of the European Union.

Method 1: Using the ‘\texteuro’ Command in LaTeX

By default, LaTeX provides the \texteuro command to denote the Euro symbol. Here is a simple example:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

I found a forgotten \texteuro100 bill tucked inside an old book on my shelf.

\end{document}

Output

The \texteuro command is straightforward and widely used for its simplicity.

Method 2: Using the ‘textcomp’ Package

The textcomp package also provides the \texteuro command. Including this package allows you to use the same command with enhanced features.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}

\begin{document}

With a gleeful smile, the child discovered a crumpled \texteuro50 note hidden in the pocket of their winter coat, prompting visions of treats and small treasures that awaited at the local candy shop.

\end{document}

Output

Method 3: Using the ‘eurosym’ Package

The eurosym package offers multiple commands for the Euro symbol, providing flexibility in choosing different representations.

\euro
\geneuro
\geneuronarrow
\geneurowide
\officialeuro

Let us see the usage of the above commands.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{eurosym}

\begin{document}

For example:\\
It costs \euro 100.  \\
It costs \geneuro 100. \\
It costs \geneuronarrow 100. \\
It costs \geneurowide 100. \\
It costs \officialeuro 100.

\end{document}

Output

Among the commands in the eurosym package, using \euro is a common and recommended practice.

Method 4: Using the ‘marvosym’ Package

The marvosym package provides multiple commands with different fonts for the Euro symbol. Here’s an example using various fonts:

Font	Command for Euro Symbol
Normal font	`\EUR`
Courier font	`\EURcr`
Helvetica font	`\EURhv`
Times font	`\EURtm`

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{marvosym}

\begin{document}

For example:\\
The cost of this table is \EUR 90. \\
The cost of this table is \EURcr 90. \\
The cost of this table is \EURhv 90. \\
The cost of this table is \EURtm 90.

\end{document}
