[GNC] How to use/add GAU currency?

[D.]

Muhammad, 

Although someone is likely to correct me, my understanding is that GnuCash uses  ISO-4217 for its currency definitions. There are no facilities in place to add user-defined currencies at this time, and I don't know whether there are plans under way to change this. There are many who use cryptocurrencies (like bitcoin) who would also like this feature. As I said, however, it isn't supported at this time. 

As I understand, your only real option at this time is to set it up as a commodity (as you have done) and track them in a commodity account. 

David T.

Subject: [GNC] How to use/add GAU currency?

   Hello,

   In my country we use GAU instead of XAU as a currency. How can I
   add/use it in GnuCash?

   GAU = Gold Grams

   Ex. [1]https://goldprice.org/gold-price-per-gram.html

   I tried to add it as a new security with NASDAQ type but it only works
   in stock accounts while I want it to works as Bank/Asset account.
