I haven't see an answer to this on the distribution list, nor on Nabble
<http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-Account-Currency-Screwed-Up-Again-td4715785.html>.
Can I fix this by editing the XML file?
I am using GC v2.6.19 under Ubuntu Studio 18.04. Is there a function to
change the currency of transactions in a newer version of GC?
If not, is there any hope that such a function might be provided in the
future?

Many years ago I set up in GC a bank account denominated in AUD to buy
and sell securities in that currency. While reconciling my
end-of-year statements I only just noticed while attempting to enter a
new price for one of the securities that all transactions in that
account (not just securities, but also transactions with other
accounts denominated in AUD, such as the income account I use for
recording interest paid in AUD) are recorderd in CHF and are converted
to CHF instead of AUD!!! How could this happen? More important (since
it is unlikely that the cause can be reconstructed at this late date)
how can I correct this without having to manually recreate all
transactions in the account going back to 2013?
Based on previous experience with such problems, I will also have to
recreate the AUD-denominated securities (fortunately there are only
two) and their transactions in order to correct the erroneous currency
(CHF) attached to them. Please say it ain't so!
