Usage notes
[edit]- 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 when referring to a number of coins. However, the unchanged plural can be used for the latter meaning as well.
- A third plural Euronen is restricted to jocular use. Rarely, a new singular Eurone m or f may be backformed.
