Bug #466506: Fix documentation about currency retrieval
This patch corrects the documentation error encountered by the
reporter. When making this correction, I noticed that the whole section on
disabling retrieval of currency exchange rates was in rather poor shape, so I
went ahead and cleaned up the rest of that section as well and included that
work in this patch.
