The default currency is used for the Paypal account of the person who setup the page and in this case it is Euros. However, there is a Paypal option that allows the default currency to be changed to whatever you choose. It is located in the Paypal instructions at "To change the default currency, click Currency and select a different currency." Another option might be to have two Donate buttons: one designated as Euros and the other designated as Dollars.
