use Australian English: English but with same settings for everything else, including keyboard layout

I live in Germany now, so I generally set it to Irish nowadays. Since I like ISO-style enter key, I use UK keyboard layout (also easier to switch to Turkish than ANSI-layout). However many OSes now have a English (Europe) locale too

Many Linux distributions provide en_DK specifically for this purpose. English as it is used in Denmark. :-)

This uses a comma decimal separator, which might or might not be desired.

Irish English locale uses a dot.

Denmark doesn't have Euros as currency, unfortunately.

Tying currency to locale seems insane. I have bank accounts in multiple currencies and use both several times per week. Why does all software on my system need to have a default currency? Most software does not care about money, those that do usually give you a quote in a currency fixed by someone else.

It's about how easy it is to reach the € sign. Ideally, it should be as easy to type as the $ sign is in the en_US layout.

For what it's worth, I think most all European keyboard layouts have key combos for € and $ defined (many have £ as well), while on en_US you can only type $ (without messing with settings). Europe of course has more currencies than just €, but they use a two-letters-long abbreviations instead of a special symbol.

		zł has entered the chat. ;-) (The Polish Ł is typically not easily typable of non-Polish keyboards.)
