I believe the € symbol is usually placed in the place where the currency symbol it replaced was set. Over here we have trailing € in I guess 80%. Leading currency more often coupled with the 3 letter abbriviation (as in easier for multi-language display). Also have places showing both (Amazon for instance).
YMMV
