Yes, this functionality used to exist in gnucash.
I first used it in August 2000.
I last used it in March 2003.
I was using Debian unstable in 2003, so it was probably gnucash 1.8.2.
The current documentation does still document the Currency account type:
Help_ch_Account-Actions.xml:
<row>
<entry><para>Currency</para></entry>
<entry><para>Currency Accounts are used for trading
currencies.</para></entry>
</row>
I found this in the source:
guint32
xaccAccountTypesValid(void)
{
guint32 mask = (1 << NUM_ACCOUNT_TYPES) - 1;
mask &= ~((1 << ACCT_TYPE_CURRENCY) | /* DEPRECATED */
(1 << ACCT_TYPE_ROOT)); /* ROOT */
return mask;
}
So maybe the functionality was replaced, but the old documentation
remained.
