Are you using the "currency" cell format, or the "accounting" cell format? I've found that "accounting" puts the dollar sign way over to the left, while "currency" puts it against the numbers. I've also found that clicking the dollar sign in the toolbar applies "accounting" which is never what I want because I'm not an accountant.
Looks like when choosing the euro symbol you get the choice of putting it before or after the number, and you chose to put it after. If you chose to put it before, you'd get the same display with the symbol way over to the left.
