I know that the keyboard shortcut to use for the Euro symbol is Option + Shift + 2. But I'm now using the $ key, why can't I just re-assign or reprogram the Shift + 4 key combo to give me €?
Does anyone know a way this can be done?

UK keyboard € is opt/2, opt/shift/2 is ™– TetsujinJul 14, 2018 at 9:52

... or did you actually mean American keyboard?– TetsujinJul 14, 2018 at 11:20

@Tetsujin If his normal shortcut is option shift 2, then he is using the US input source for English.– Tom GeweckeJul 14, 2018 at 12:08

Yeah, eventually I figured that out - title says english keyboard... which is somewhat confusing if you are English, not American ;-)– TetsujinJul 14, 2018 at 12:21

Two apps for remapping keys are Ukelele and Karabiner.
Also the Dutch keyboard layout is the same as US but has € at Option 2, if that is easier.
You can also set up a text replacement in system preferences/keyboard/text/replace with, so that for example $$ gives you €.

One other possibilty for non-Apple apps like MS Office is to use autocorrect to replace the euro symbol with the dollar or vice versa...
Edit based on comments : many programs have an autocorrect function, this is from Excel :
