I don't agree.
I'd have to look up the exchange rate for everything I buy off shore on my 
credit card every single time. Just that the bank uses a different rate again 
which is more favourable to it than to me.

A few accounts in different currencies makes a lot more sense.
I am then imagining how much more the accountant or auditor would charge to 
deal with books kept in a manner which don't meet with their standards.
