    Any symbol that looks remotely like a C with two (nearly) horizontal
    cross-strokes, appearing before a numeric value, will surely be
    recognized as a euro sign. This will only increase as time goes by.

    The original legislative attempt to dictate the exact proportions (and
    even color) of the euro sign, regardless of the font in use, was just
    silly.
