You can keep your accounts in a form that suits you, but issue reports in a form that suits the tax authorities, your investors, or whoever. Heck, it even makes false accounting easier, if that’s what you want to do. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

This means that all others are converted into that primary currency. It likely doesn't really matter a whole pile if you do use more than one but if you're audited I would bet that a multi-currency set of books is going to raise red flags.

Re: Exchange a specific currency in report
I’m not aware of any built-in support for that. Perhaps you could add an automated transaction to it that converts all your INR assets to USD? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
