Dell computers and keyboards manufactured for the US market, like all US keyboards, do not have keys to type foreign currency symbols such as the Euro symbol (€). To maintain compatibility with existing computer software, only one key on the keyboard is devoted to a currency symbol, and that spot is taken by the US Dollar. However, all modern versions of Windows allow you to type the Euro sign using a short series of key-presses. Use this short code to type the Euro symbol on your Dell keyboard or laptop.
