I think we once said (may be in another context) that the default value of a boolean option should be FALSE, so I would argue for "expired" on the basis that most currencies in the list will be still in use. > - There was a Euro converter in 1.x, which until now was not ported.

Well I was responsible for this code (gnc-euro.c, not the Euro converter, which was done by Christian Stimming). gnc-euro.c does the correct Euro conversion with proper rounding as defined by the European Central Bank. I was most useful in the time between 1999 and 2001 when you could have accounts in EUR and e.g DEM. In the account windows the status line will show you the value of a DEM account in EUR and in the account tree window you could have a column with the EUR value of your DEM accounts. This functionality still works and tracks my stash of retained DEM coins quite nicely.
