The ISO currency symbol for the Euro character has been corrected in the R5 Gold builds. In earlier Beta releases of R5 the proposed ISO symbol "XEU" was used. In the final build, this has been corrected to "EUR" which is the approved ISO three-letter currency symbol.

If you created a currency field using a Beta release of R5 that used the three letter ISO currency symbol for the Euro, that field continues to use the old "XEU" symbol instead of the "EUR" symbol until you resave the form containing the field.

Note that you do not have to resave the form if you were using the euro symbol instead of the ISO three letter symbol.

Also note that the three letter "country code" used for the Euro has been changed to EMU (European Monetary Union) instead of the originally proposed XEU. This change is for clarity only; it has no impact on the use of the currency symbol.
