> What does Euro mean?
Apparently it came from the word (Europe), but here's another question : What does Europe mean? Where did it come from?
It came from the word (Erebu/Ereba) in the Semitic Akkadian language (It was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia)
Erebu means (Sunset), back to the past, it was believed that the western-setting sun descended on Europe.
> Do all the Eurozone members use Euro?
No!! Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden are actual Eurozone members but they don't use the Euro currency.
Countries out the Eurozone using Euro :
Europe :
Andorra - Monaco - San Marino - Vatican City - Kosovo - Montenegro
Africa :
Mayotte and Réunion
South America :
Saint Pierre and Miquelon - French Guiana - French islands in the Caribbean
> What doesn € mean? Is it an abbreviation of Euro, so it's an E with an extra line on it?
Yes, that's it!
Inspiration for the € symbol itself came from the Greek epsilon (ϵ) – a reference to the cradle of European civilization – and the first letter of the word Europe, crossed by two parallel lines to 'certify' the stability of the euro.
> How to type it??
For Windows : CRTL + ALT + E
For Mac : Alt/Option-Shift-2
For Linux : (i don't know why it's quite complexe) Press and hold Shift + Ctrl while you type U 2 0 A and C
