OK some people say Euro some Euros, but what do you call it.

I switch between both, depending on how I feel.

My dad insists that a tenner is ten pounds, or 12.68 in euro.

I call it a tenner.

Or ten euro if I am in work mode.

In a roundabout way, yes!

Hence the choices!

No tenner in there at all, at all!

You might want to double-check that
My understanding is that both euro and euros are correct depending on
what language one is speaking - with euros acceptable in English.
Here's the link from the EU advising usage.

Back OT, it's a tenner.

The reason that the official plural of Euro is Euro is so that it will be the same in all languages. If you want to say Euros there's nothing wrong with that either. I think Euros is more natural although like most people I'd just call it a tenner too.

Tenner- why is it not in the poll? the OP uses the word himself

If something costs €10 I will sometimes say it costs ten quid. My old man hates that insisting "quid" is sterling.

Just checked and it is down as "irish slang" for €

Exactly. Saying something costs 10 euros or 10 euro seems fine to me, saying ten euros note sounds totally wrong.

If you said a pint cost 5 euro it sounds OK, but if you said you spent 100euros in the pub it seems to make more sense to me as you sort of infer it was made over multiple payments.

And if one wants to be totally pedantic, it's euro or euros, not
Euro or Euros.

The euro. Like ‘pound’, ‘dollar’ or any other currency name in English, the
word ‘euro’ is written in lower case with no initial capital and, where
appropriate, takes the plural ‘s’ (as does ‘cent’)

That is becasue it is wrong.

When saying you "have a ten euro note" you are reffering to the singular item of one note, but if asked how much money you had on you and you said "ten euros" then that would be correct as it is then the plural of the individual currency units of a euro that you are reffering to.
