I think you have to set your locales correctly. Set up the
environement variable LC_ALL in your terminal. For example, 
  export LC_ALL=en_IE@euro

For this, you have to generate this locale, that is issue a
  dpkg-reconfigure locales
for instance and choose to generate en_US@euro and the one
you're interested in.
