Placement of the sign varies. Partly since there are no official standards on placement, countries have generated varying conventions or sustained those of their former currencies. An amount such as €3.50 is often written as 3,50 € or 3€50 instead, largely in accordance with conventions for previous currencies.
In English-language use the euro sign is generally placed before the figure.
No official recommendation is made with regard to the use of a cent sign.
