It's in an xml file. If you self-build, you could add your own currencies in that file 
and have extra currencies. A patch to add these extra currencies will only be 
accepted in the gnucash code base though if the extra currencies are ISO-4217.

To have anything in vanilla gnucash, the user interface and the data store format 
have to be changed in order to be able to clearly distinguish ISO currencies from 
custom ones. That's quite a bit of work :)

Geert
