Usage notes

The difference between the plurals Euro and Euros is equivalent to the difference between pence and pennies in English: The unchanged plural is used to mean an amount or value, whereas Euros may be used referring to a number of coins. However, the unchanged plural can be used for the latter meaning as well.
