What do you mean? That the € symbol always appears in a particular
sans-serif shape as defined by the EU? Then create a macro which
selects that font and prints this €!
\newfontfamily{\official_EUR_font}{GFS Neohellenic}%-Regular looks
best, also GFS Artemisia, or: Capitals, Charcoal, Chicago, Monaco
\newcommand{\euro}{{\official_EUR_font\upshape\textmd{€}}}
Or make it an active character which does the same (in that case you
can simply type € in your invoice):
\newfontfamily{\official_EUR_font}{GFS Neohellenic-Regular}% also GFS
Artemisia-Regular, or: Capitals, Charcoal, Chicago, Monaco
\catcode"20AC=\active
\def€{{\official_EUR_font\char"20AC}}
