Hi Mike

I believe that you need a valid Alpha Vantage API key for currencies:
GnuCash / Edit / Preferences / Online Quotes.

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes

For troubleshooting from the command line, try this on Windows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>set 
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=__Your_Actual_Key__

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo %ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY%
__Your_Actual_Key__

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (currency "USD" "GBP") | perl 
gnc-fq-helper
(("USD" (symbol . "USD") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-03-10 08:40:01") 
(last . #e0.72002) (currency . "GBP")))

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (currency "EUR" "RON") | perl 
gnc-fq-helper
(("EUR" (symbol . "EUR") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-03-10 08:45:05") 
(last . #e4.8841) (currency . "RON")))

[The commands are similar on Unix.]

See attached screenshot.

Regards

Geoff
