Doesn't this then require that someone in the GnuCash family keep
abreast of each and every currency and when a country changes update a
list of "similar symbols"?

Whilst I would like the symbols for the various currencies, it seems
to be a whole lot of work that is only vaguely related to GnuCash.  I
guess this is something that Gnome could use as an additional
library/option.


Just my unenlightened (USD$)0.02 ((AUD)$0.026, £0.011, ¥2.15) worth.


Cheers,
