Check your currencies. I would bet that your Customer Currency
doesn't match the Account Currencies.

The invoice uses the currency of the Customer, but the currency is
cached when you select the customer. If you later change the
customer currency the already-created invoice will not see that
change. To update the invoice's currency you need to re-edit the
invoice and re-select the customer.
