"0.38€" says "38 euro cents"

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Firefox 89.0, No Flash version detected

When using the text to speech extension, saying “0.83€” makes it say “38 euro cents”

“38 cents”… 38 euro cents doesn't make sense, or am I missing something?

I typed 0.38€ on iOS Notes, and Samantha, the onboard iOS TTS voice, said “zero euros and thirty-eight cents”. So it doesn't say “euro cents”, but it does still say “euros” and “cents”. The fact that part of what iOS says is “zero euros” also seems a bit interesting, but every service has different preferences.

macOS says “zero euros and eighty three cents”, is that what you wanted? if yes, then just type that in.

At least as an American, I have heard the fractional denominations of Euros described as “Euro cents,” so it's not completely unheard of. I guess the TTS extension was designed with that in mind.
