Transactions not appearing correctly

[Ken]

It appears that each transaction in a register is associated with a
currency. For example:

<trn:currency>
    <cmdty:space>ISO4217</cmdty:space>
    <cmdty:id>XAU</cmdty:id>
  </trn:currency>

or

<trn:currency>
    <cmdty:space>ISO4217</cmdty:space>
    <cmdty:id>USD</cmdty:id>
  </trn:currency>


In one of my accounts some of the transactions are associated with the
incorrect currency.  This appears to be stored in the XML but transparent to
the GnuCash user.
*(1) How can I see the currency in a register?
(2) How can I change the currency in a register?*

Many thanks,
Ken
