The only way I can think of to do that short of editing your database: Export the transactions to CSV, edit the CSV to change the commodity, delete the account and recreate it as type BANK and currency USD, then import the edited CSV.

*Almost* always $1: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/breaking-the-buck.asp#:~:text=What%20Is%20Breaking%20the%20Buck,operating%20expenses%20or%20investment%20losses.
Last happened during the 2008 meltdown.
