Not sure why you aren’t seeing it properly with that setting.

I have some dollars from both Canada and the Bahamas and both accounts show the 
foreign and US currency amounts.

Canada shows up as C$, and Bahamas as B$ and U.S. as just “$”.

All of the foreign currencies are in the left column and US$ in the right 
column so I don’t see what the confusion would be.

Perhaps I’m not understanding what you mean by ‘pair’ with respect to 
currencies.

Regards,
Adrien
