It is through Currency Control that new currencies may be added and the "Home" currency defined.

Each currency is added with a description. "Home" currency is shown by the ok.

 

If a currency is made obsolete, it should not be removed but "Triangulated" to the succeeding currency. This is so any historic transactions can still be statistically reviewed and valued at the new currency without amending the transactions.

 

The purpose of "Triangulating" the currency and not simply revaluing to the new, it to allow the conversion back to the Home currency for financial analysis.
