Does --add-price-quotes also get currencies ?

BTW, the $HOME/ part on the path in the command line is probably useless,
as the command is executed from the user's home dir.

I did the test anyway, and adding "--config-path $HOME/.gnucash" to the
command has not made any change.  Either the config-path was wrong, or
adding the --config-path argument was not the expected workaround. (?)


Next idea is to login to Gnome desktop as root and change the system
currency from USD to EUR, to see if it will affect the results of the
cron job.
