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

[爱]

Use one of the “dummy” currencies for them.

In this workaround, you use one of the dummy currencies to track the loyalty points. These currencies are “XTS (Code for testing purposes)” and “XXX (No currency)”. If you use one of these for your LoyaltyPoints account, you can enter transactions into the account without having to enter share prices for every transaction. And, you can keep using the same two dummy currencies to track all sorts of amounts—vacation dollars earned and used so far this year, vacation hours earned and used, health insurance benefits allowance used and remaining, and so on.

The drawback with this workaround is that you cannot define exchange rates for the dummy currencies to convert them to ISO currencies. If you want to do that, you really should use the first workaround.
