<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Andy,<br>
I am using myself quite a number of different currencies.<br>
<br>
KMM knows both, a Symbol and an ID as well for each of its
currencies, and despite the fact that a number of currencies use
the same $ Symbol, each currency is clearly distinguished.<br>
<br>
My Asset and Liabilities Summary shows the ID for some (e.g. IDR,
SFr) and the Symbol for others (e.g. €, $).<br>
Yet, I must admit I have not even noticed this two-lane practice
until this moment.<br>
<br>
Naturally, this is not causing any confusion in reports with all
currencies converted to the base currency as long as any
title/subtitle states the base currency's ID in it and not its
Symbol.<br>
<br>
Although I do not consider this a serious problem (of this in many
regards brilliant application) it is just sort of a "defective
appearance" and the developers may want to smooth it out.<br>
<br>
As a lay person I agree with what you suggest: consistently
applying only the 3-letter ID <b>in reports with various
currencies</b> would simply do it.<br>
<br>
Or do we perhaps overlook an argument against doing so!?<br>
<br>
Thanks and Cheers,<br>
Michael<br>

<div>Many currencies share the same symbol $ including USD.
Many users may have USD within their portfolio other than
their base currency (whose symbol is also $). It causes some
confusion in e.g. summary screen. <br>

Hope that in future fixes there could be a tweak on it e.g.
using currency ID. Thanks.<br clear="all">
