Meta-Shift-3 for the pound sign (£) and Meta-Ctrl-2 for the euro (€)
work for me on a US keyboard in an xterm, but not in a console (bash)
window.  I'm using cygwin 1.3.12-2 under Win2k and Exceed for the X
server.  I don't get the Euro sign, but that's just an artifact of my
font choice.  I'm getting the right character codes (0xA3 for the pound
and 0x80 for the euro).
