General ⇒ Euro currency symbol in math environment

[moinmoin]

Greetings,

as the subject indicates: How to get an Euro currency symbol into a math environment (equation etc.)

I use the eurosym package, but it does not seem to work when I put \euro or \EUR in a math environment. Any ideas?

thanks - as always - in advance

cheers

wrap it in \textup{...}

presumably it is a textsymbol, those cannot be used inside math

[Juanjo]

In math mode you can put anything you want, either directly or inside a box. In this case, $\mbox{\euro}$.
If you load amsmath, it is preferable $\text{\euro}$

[daleif]

\text{\euro} might not be a good idea

I assume that \euro is used here as a unit, those should always be typeset upright, but \text uses the surrounding text, \textit{blah $blah \text{blah} blah$ blah}

use \textup instead

[moinmoin]

I use it as a unit for economic calculations, thats correct.

as far as I can see, \textup and \text produce similar output - both of them suit my needs.

Thank you daleif and Juanjo for your replies!

cheers

well some fonts have an italic \euro...
