[GNC] Currency conversion

[john]

Not really. That happens because sometimes you make or request prices in one direction and sometimes the other. The only case where it would matter is if one of them hadn't been updated in a while. The price-retrieval code looks first in the direction it wants, then in the other direction, then for an indirect (e.g. if you need COP->EUR and don't have that in the pricedb but you have COP->USD and USD->EUR it will use the combination) quote. The first one it finds wins, not the most recent. So suppose you need USD->COP for some report but the latest such quote is two months old. Your report will use that even though there's a COP->USD quote from yesterday. That will make your report appear to be off.
