From wikipedia:
"According to the European Union<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union>'s
Publication Office,[5] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#cite_note-5>
in English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language_in_England>,
Irish<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_language>
, Latvian <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_language> and
Maltese<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_language>
 texts, the ISO 4217 code is followed by a fixed space and the amount:
a sum of EUR 30

In Turkish <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_language>,

Swedish<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_language> the
order is reversed; the amount is followed by a fixed space and the ISO 4217
code:
une somme de 30 EUR"
