Hello,
This macro does not work anymore and I do not understand why.
Thank you

Hi Fabrice,
I don't know about the \symbol[EUR], but you can use directly the € symbol as in:
\unexpanded\def\euros#1{#1\,€}
\starttext
\euros{100}
\stoptext
Best regards: OK

Hello Otared,
Thank you for your answer even though I knew we could do like that. In fact
I wanted to understand why a macro that works very well for several years
no works.

most fonts nowadays have a properly matched euro
\usesymbols[mvs] % has your EUR
\starttext
\unexpanded\def\euros#1{#1\,€}
\euros{100}
\unexpanded\def\euros#1{#1\,\symbol[europe][EUR]}
\euros{100}
\stoptext
We don't load these symbol sets by default. Soon the tex gyre fonts will
contain many more symbols which means that we will also get away from
some currently traditional symbols taken from math fonts.
