Securities don't have currencies. Accounts denominated in securities (or more
generally in non-currency commodities) have an association with the nearest
parent account denominated in a currency, so perhaps the solution to your
problem is to create a "US Investments" Asset placeholder account somewhere and
move the account that's giving you trouble under it.
If not, please tell us what the problem is.
