Ján,
1) We can't keep all old European currencies indefinitely.
Why not?
Because they are not used anymore. For instance in France we don't
use the franc for eight years (and, like many French - and European
for their own currency I guess-, I struggled to forget it). Same for
all the countries which entered the Euro zone in 2001. On the other
hand, as I suggested we could add the currencies that are still in
use. BTW, I privately received this answer from Ján
1) I agree, i mean primarily old currencies for new coutries in
european monetary union, as Slovakia, Slovenia etc. (and in future
Poland or Czech Republic).
In teen years I suggest we remove them again. But anyway, who knows
what the world will be in 10 years :o)
Note that I will not begin a war of religion, and if the community
prefer to revert, I will. It's maybe also easier...
You said "We can't keep all old European currencies indefinitely." I
bed to differ. Technically we CAN keep them indefinitely.
The point I was trying to make is not can or can't we, but what should
we do? The issue about historical data is a good one, because there
will likely be existing or migrated data that relates to these
currencies for many years after the currencies are no longer usable.
We could add a flag to say if a currency can be used or not for new
transactions...

2) Some countries may need to have their own currencies still in
OFBiz
3) We may then add them... => Jira issue(s) with patch(es)

Hi,
in r825188 was removed "dead" currencies for countries which
switched to
euro. I think, that wasn't good idea (or good idea in all cases).
For
example, slovak krona is currently used for dual price view
until end of
2009. In some cases old currencies are important for
orders/quotes/invoices history, too.
