My computers are configured for the U.S. International keyboard. With that,
the keystroke for the euro symbol (?) is Ctr-Alt-5.
Alt-$ would, of course, apply only to a French keyboard (yours, for
example), as it's the only one for which the numerals require the shift key
and the special characters are unshifted. On other keyboards, it would be
Alt-Shift-4, which, on my keyboard, yields the generic currency symbol ($ -
spiky circle).
