Finance-Quote 1.47 Unable to retrieve Currency quotes

[Richard Morris]

But I wonder - does GNUCash actually use alphavantage for currencies?

I see this:
"There are 3 types of sources of which the first - currency - is hardcoded
and responsible to fetch ISO currencies. The other two can be selected in
the security editor."  https://www.gnucash.org/docs/
v2.6/C/gnucash-help/apas01.html

I'm still having the issue with currencies. How about you Adriano?

And isn't it odd that e.g. "gnc-fq-dump currency USD EUR" (for example)
works?
