?!? Why did this message arrive at the list (or, at least, at my Inbox) a 
week late...

I totally agree. We should get rid of the ISO-some-number in as many cases 
as possible. To let the user choose the string "Currency" or "National 
Currency" should be unambiguous enough, and that would be much more 
intuitively understandable. 

As an aside, our competitor Kapital lets you choose any arbitrary string 
as currency... We already have a much cleaner way of currency handling to 
offer. We don't need to confuse this by some weird ISO-numbers.
