currency linked to a stock

[Sébastien de Menten]

Hello,

There is no currency explicitly linked to a given stock (is this correct?).

As a result, one can attach to a given stock multiple prices in multiple
commodities.
For instance, YHOO (which is traded in USD) could have a price in CAD if
entered manually (in the price editor or through a transaction). When using
the online download, one always get the "correct" currency.
Shouldn't each security (that is not a currency) have its currency (like
USD for YHOO) ? or is this a feature ?

On a related topic, if I have an account with YHOO stock as a commodity
(and so traded in USD), but that my default currency is CAD and that I have
downloaded both the YHOO prices in USD and the exchange rate USD/CAD, can
Gnucash convert the YHOO stock in CAD when displaying the Grand Total ?
