[GNC] Why does an Equity account have to be of Currency type?

Hi,
I am starting a new Gnucash file for a simple "mock" trust. The trust
holds physical assets (like stamps and coins and other collectibles). I
want to represent the contributions to this trust in the form of these
assets. However, when I try to create new Equity accounts for the
contributions it only allows me to use "Currency" type assets. I don't
understand why Gnucash would force this limitation. Why wouldn't a user
be allowed to use any asset type they wish (stocks, bitcoin,
collectables) and not solely the ISO cash types?
A screenshot of the issue is attached.
Thanks,
Ken
