Set LC_CTYPE to fr_FR@euro but LC_MESSAGES to either C or en_US.  Set
the other LC_* variables to your liking.

(I am running with just such a setup.)

Note, by the way, the difference between fr_FR@euro and
fr_FR.ISO8859-15: the former uses Euro rather than FF as a currency,
while the latter uses the ISO 8859-15 charset but still uses FF as the
currency.

There's no need for such a locale as you can mix&match the LC_*
variables.  However, if you're running a system with libc 2.2
(currently, testing or unstable), you can create an en_US.ISO8859-15
locale by putting the right incantations into /etc/locale.gen and
running locale-gen.  You will also need to modify XFree86's locale.dir
and locale.alias files.

(Of course, and en_US@euro locale wouldn't make sense, as the US have
not (yet) adopted the One True Currency.)

P.S. Tomohiro: sorry if I'm being pedantic, but you likely meant
``incorrect'' or perhaps ``unsupported'' rather than ``illegal''.
