<p>"Eurocents" isn't used, we still say "centimes", but Charles is right as well we tend to drop the "centimes" (or the "euro") anyway (exept when the amount has no full euro in it).</p>
<p></p>
<p>So to me:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1,5€ = "un euro cinquante" or even "un cinquante" but some still say "un euro et cinquante centimes", I've heard all three (the first one being the most common). </p>
<p>0,75€= "soixante-quinze centimes"</p>

<p>I have heard "un euro vingt-cinq" on the streets of Paris. Or "due euros trente", etc. And if no cents are called for, the word "euro(s)" is even eliminated from amounts answered when euros are implied:</p>
<p>"Combien pour cela?</p>
<p>Cinquant-six, monsieur."</p>

Thanks very much Jan! Would 1.25 Euros be un euro et vingt-cinq, or no 'et'? 1.5 Euros = un euro et demi
