Uh, you can't.  There's no UI method to set that.  You could hand-edit
the XML to change the currency...  But.

You cannot delete an invoice.  You could, however, mark this one as
inactive and manually set the invoice ID when you create the new one.

Currently this is the only UI method to set the invoice currency, so,
basically you can't.  You can try changing the customer currency before
issuing the invoice.
