I assume you're importing a QIF file. The QIF importer can't handle multiple
currencies (I have the same problem).  You'll find that transfers between
accounts with different currencies don't import correctly (and even generate
an extra transaction). If you don't have too many of those, I'd simply
suggest fixing them by hand after import.

Cheers,
