You need to create a USD-denominated account of type Assets and make it the 
parent of the Danaher account.

Welcome!

Very interesting problem.

Perhaps it is the source you are using for the Quotes that is reporting is
USD??

When I look at my 5.6 Security setup, there is nothing about the stocks
that say that they should be evaluated in USD.  Nor is there anything in
their related account in the investment account.

Can you attempt to use different sources for the Finance::Quote?

Another thought: Do you get the quotes from within GnuCash, or are you
running the quotes manually (as with 'cron')? It may be that you have EUR
set as the system currency in GnuCash, but the quote program isn't aware of
the setting?
