The
#REDIRECT [[Currency of Shireroth]]
erb is the national currency of [[Shireroth]]. Around the foundation of
Shireroth in 2000 the symbol € (Euro) was adopted for the currency, but
no formal name was given to the erb at that time.
During the [[Seventh Republic]], [[Lukedu]] using the 'E' shape of the
erb as inspiration came up with the name "Erb". This led to some joke
about the "hERB" and some other jokes about marijuana, which have been
forgotten. The original and technically correct spelling is €rb,
incorperating the symbol into the name of the currency. This use has
lost popularity due to the annoyance of having to type in the ASCII
code to create the symbol or for some the inability to create the
symbol on thier systems.
The ASCII code to create the Euro symbol (€) is Alt-0128 on windows
machines. Some fonts do not support this symbol.
