Where it (€) came from?

Look for a big view of it

Arthur Eisenmenger, the then chief designer of the EEC, has designed it for the EEC in the early 70s, but with 'Europe' in mind as meaning of this symbol.

Jacques Santer, then president of the European commission, in 1997 introduced the € as a sign for Euro and said it represents a mixture of the greek letter epsilon as a sign for the common civilisatory roots of our countries, the letter E for Europe and two parallel lines indicating stability. Well, that's what politicians usually read from sheets others have written for them at such opportunities.
