The \200 (0x80) is EUR in windows-1252.  But i have no clue what
the 0xc2 is doing there.

With

-*- coding: windows-1252; -*-

in the first line or when you open the file with

C-x RET c windows-1252 RET C-x C-f test.txt RET 

the EUR gets displayed but there's still this 0xc2 (latin capital
letter A with circumflex in latin-1/9 or windows-1252).
