Currency issue in Gnucash Android app

Fri Apr 6 16:52:11 EDT 2018

I think you are saying that the CSV export from GnuCash 3.0 does not import
correctly into GnuCash for Android.

I am not sure if that is an export problem or if it is a GnuCash for
Android import problem.

Were you able to do the same thing by another method with GnuCash release
2.6.19 or earlier?
