If the "dollar sign" can be used for currencies other than the USD, even for some which name is not even "dollar", then I suppose there is a theoreitical possiblity that it may be used as a symbol of euro cent (though I personally prefer "c*").
There is no reason that the noble � cent sign should not be used for the European currency. Personally I always use it, because "2�" looks like "two cents" and "2c" looks like "two cee".
In Ireland of course when we used pence we wrote "2p" and said "two pee". -- Michael Everson * * Everson Typography * * http://www.evertype.com
