[GNC] Default Currency Issue! GNU Cash 5.1 windows

[David H]

Hi Joe,

Welcome to Gnucash. What are your PC's Region settings set to - Australia
?  If so you should be able to go to Gnucash preferences and select locale
as your default currency (Edit menu, select Preferences >> Accounts >>
Default Currency and select "Locale ..... AUD (Australian Dollar) which are
the settings I use here on Oz.

Cheers David H.
