Hi Andrew,

here comes some info from a German. There might be some official
guidelines where to put the euro-sign in a currency format, but in real
life it doesn't matter if it is in front or behind the amount. Important
is the "." as delimiter for thousands and "," as decimal delimiter.
Sometimes we use EUR for the Euro when the � is not available (price
labels). As we have the euro as the only legal currency, the German Mark
is only useful for historical circumstances (as said before Note: Your
quotation is right).
