Mind to suggest that the German "Euronen" is not, as claimed in the text, related to "Dublonen", but a pun on German "Neuronen" = neurons. Austrian "Eumeln" are also known as a mildly derogatory address. Their namesake are the "Eumel" (sing. and pl., the final -n only Austrian), little cartoon characters of a popular TV commercial from the 1970s. Cf. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eumel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.198.21.194 ( talk) 10:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
The German section incorrectly refers to the öre as "the Swedish currency". The öre was only the subsidiary unit (one 100th) of the real Swedish currency, the krona; calling it "the Swedish currency" is like calling the cent "the American currency" or the penny "the British currency". In any case, the last öre coin (50 öre) was taken out of circulation in 2010, so the öre no longer even exists! 213.127.210.95 ( talk) 15:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
I can't find any citation/source for this assertion. Any people from in or around Austria have any corroboration? "In the eastern part of Austria the word Eumeln (meaning "twerps", also plural-only) is occasionally used. It combines the word euro with a typical Austrian-German ending (like the word Semmeln, Austro-Bavarian for "buns" or "rolls") and gives the word a more casual and familiar touch. citation needed" Jessamyn ( talk) 15:27, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

The article isn't really about linguistic issues with the euro, but simply describes the usage of the word euro in a number of languages. Therefore, I would rename the page to something more descriptive, like "Linguistic usage concerning the euro", or so. (Alternatively, the scope of the article could be reduced back, but that feels like a waste of useful information). 183.83.201.216 ( talk) 03:36, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

"Hungarian words ending with either o or u have to be accented as ó and ú"
This is actually incorrect, there are several words with -u ending and 2 with -o ending. The decisive factor is pronunciation, if it is a long vowel, then it has to be accented, otherwise it should not be. 2020-02-27T13:15:03 Locassen talk contribs
The article says The Directorate-General for Translation now recommends that the regular plurals, euros and cents, be used, using this reference: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/styleguide_english_dgt_en.pdf
The source however states the exact opposite of what is said above: The euro. Like ‘pound’, ‘dollar’ or any other currency name in English, the word ‘euro’ is written in lower case with no initial capital. The plural of ‘euro’ is ‘euro’ (without ‘s’)

Maybe another symbol could be used? Not the symbol of the currency.
Maybe a different symbol that other wiki pages with similar use cases refer to the bottom text, and then a checkmark besides each country that fits the requirement of column a
