When speaking can you say "un euro virgule cinquante centimes" or is it always "un euro et cinquante centimes"?
Perhaps the lesson on "Writing decimal numbers in French" could be updated to cover this topic as well.

Use of centime
This question relates to:French lesson "Using le, la, les with weights and measures (definite articles)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Alvin,
In informal speech the usual way of saying 1,50 € is: un euro cinquante in efect the word euro is acting as the virgule. It is not necessary to add the centimes.
Hope this helps,
Tom
