I believe this is normal.  ISO4127 == CURRENCY.  Unless it's actually causing a
real problem I wouldn't worry about it.  Perhaps it's a bit of a UI glitch, and
you're welcome to file an RFE for it to be cleared up, but it certainly doesn't
sound to me like it's causing anything but a visual problem.

They don't.  Prices only affect "current value" as displayed in the reports.
