Thank you Bill, but even though Plasma runs on Qt6, KMyMoney 5.3.1 still uses
the KF5/Qt5 libraries. That is probably why you don't have problems.

Also, it is noteworthy, that KMyMoney 5.2.0 uses the currency setting
of the locale which might have a different value than the one for numbers.
See https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=182867 for an example.
