Hi,

I don't have the machine I normally use available here, but my semi-educated 
guess would be that I use locale "C" and that I do not have a preference set 
(i.e probably defaulting to USD).

However, I fail to see why the locale and/or preferences should interfer with 
the entry currency. I assumed that the reason an account has a currency is that 
all entries in that account are in that given currency, independently of whether 
I am in Taiwan or in Germany or elsewhere. In my case I have bank accounts in 
several currencies, and would normally enter transactions in the local currency 
for each account and expect the entry to follow the account (except, of course, 
through "inter currency" transfers (BTW, nice that the intermediate account for 
that is gone now).

All the best

Jan

P.S Sorry if you get this twice, but I sent the first from a non-subscribed 
mailing address.
