PayPal Change Default Currency

I am working on a donations website and I have set up a PayPal Sandbox Business Account. Everything's fine, however I want to accept money in Euros and not $ as it is set by default. How can this be done please? Thanks :)

---Edit---

I did not use any APIs. I just created a business account and used this code:

string temp_url = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&[email protected]&item_name=Sponsor a Child Society&amount=";
string PayPal = temp_url + Convert.ToString(donation);
Response.Redirect(PayPal);

Have you use currency_code property.

"This parameter represents a currency code. Possible values are "USD","EUR","GBP","YEN","CAD" etc. It is "USD" by default."

When you generate your request to paypal you can include a parameter stating which currency you want the transaction to be carried out in.
