Which reminds me: Why do Euro users put the currency symbol after the
amount rather than before? It always strikes me as slightly odd.£0.02

There is actually no "official" placement for the euro symbol. In
countries where the pre-euro symbol came before the number (Ireland, for
example), the euro symbol is placed before. In countries where the
pre-euro symbol came after (France, Germany, Italy, Spain), the euro is
written after.
Wikipedia says English-speaking and Latin American countries usually
place their currency symbol before the number. Other countries place it
after. International trading is now all done with three-letter codes
that come after (100.00 USD instead of $100.00).
"After" makes more sense, if you think about how we read it. We say
"100 dollars", not "dollars 100".
