LEFT: Front of €1 coin. RIGHT: Back of a €1 coin from the Zecca di Stato, the Italian national mint. (Coins have a standard "heads" side, but the "tails" side differs from country to country. All national versions can be used interchangeably throughout the 12-country European Monetary Union.) Plural: "Euro" vs. "euros"You might expect a common currency to have a common spelling, but no such luck. An EU dossier recommends using "euro" as the plural form in English, but the new currency's official Web site employs the "euros" form, and so most British newspapers. Web links Europe for Visitors
