I typeset the euro symbol (€) regularly and I’ve always thought the version produced in LaTeX sticks out a bit like a sore thumb. (I re-assure myself that noticing these things is evidence that I adequately proof-read my prose.) The code below makes a new command yuro that (in my opinion) fits in better with the surrounding text.
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{eurosym}
usepackage{graphicx}
newcommand{yuro}{scalebox{0.95}{euro}}
begin{document}
This is the size with the euro 1,000 original configuration.
This is the size with the yuro 1,000 newer configuration.
end{document}
The code shrinks the size of the symbol to make it fit better with other characters. Similarities to the status of the eurozone are unintentional.
