How do I type the euro value sign € on a Mac? I've tried bashing on my keyboard with the ⌥ alt/option key pressed with the ⇧ shift key pressed but I do not seem to be able to find how I can get the euro value sign.

⇧ shift+4 gives the dollar sign: $

What keystrokes do I need to use to get the euro € sign?
On an American English keyboard you can type the European Currency symbol (€) with Option + Shift + 2.
