My guess is that this is an encoding mismatch.

What you should see is U+20AC, €. If the CSV file is saved in UTF-8 
format, but Gnumeric mistakenly thinks it is Latin-1, you should 
see: â¬

(There's actually an invisible character between the â and the ¬ but I 
think my mail program probably removed it). 

If you want to learn more about this, google for "moji-bake".

My guess is that the CSV file is ISO-8859-15, which is like Latin-1 but 
it adds the Euro, and Gnumeric mistakenly thinks it is Latin-1. In that 
case, you are probably seeing this: ¤

Unfortunately the computer I am on at the moment doesn't have Gnumeric 
installed, so I cannot check to see how to change the encoding when you 
open a CSV file.
