Way back when, I rewrote the QIF-handling code for CBB. I was running
the Canadian edition, and it, like the US version, did not distinguish
between the currencies.
Seeing as how both countries use "dollars," and have generally the
same denominations, I would find it wholely remarkable that there would
be any noticeable effect in a move between the countries, with the
incredibly limited extent to which Quicken *can* be currency-aware.
