New accounts not recognized

[Mike Cliff]

Looks like you are on to something. In the Edit Account window both new
and old accounts show the Currency as "USD (US Dollar)".  However, hitting
the Select button reveals that the old accounts have a Type of FUND, while
the new ones have Type of CURRENCY.  I think these were the default values
when creating the new/old accounts.

Which Type should these accounts (e.g., Checking, expense accounts) be?

Note that the Type field in the Select currency/security window is
different than the Account Type field in the Edit Account window.

Thanks,
Mike
