You Europeans...all we have is the "$" sign above the 4. Where the hell do your keyboards find room for your euro and £ signs?

£ is above number 3, $ is above number 4 but 4 does also seem to have euro sign in the bottom right corner - hmmm, what other button do you need to press to get the euro up???? 'shift' only brings up the dollar.... :? :? :?

Does your keyboard have a "Fn" (or "function") key? I've seen keyboards like that. That's probably what you need to use to get the euro sign.
