Euro howto and cent sign



Hi,

I just went through a brieg email correspondence about the euro sign with one 
of the KDE people and then with the local Euro-infodesk in Finland.

It turned out that there is no character for the euro cent. Thus, you have to 
write 0,20€ instead of 20¢ (<-WRONG!!)!

The Debian euro howto discusses mapping the cent character to the keyboard 
and actually, the current 'unstable' seemingly has it also mapped to 
altgr-shift-e.

To prevent confusion and errorneous usage of the cent sign with euro, perhaps 
mentions of the cent sign should be removed (or changed to point out that 
there isn't one)?
