Each account in your CoA operates in a specific currency, which is specified when you create it. I expect you haven't seen this yet, as you haven't set up your accounts. I'm pretty sure you don't need to add anything new for the Riel (KHR), as all the standard currencies are already built in. In fact, you can't add any more anyway.
I suggest you make a practice file, accepting one of the default Charts of Accounts and then play with doing things in two currencies. If your base system is US$, you should add a couple of accounts that use KHR, and practice moving money back and forth. Then it's a simple matter to throw away your test books and start a real one. By default your reports will be in US$; many or most reports will show amounts that are actually in KHR in a smaller font just to the left of the main US$ amount.

I downloaded (in Windows 10), installed and tried to set up gnucash with the US$ as the basic currency (which was already set-up as a default). I have not yet set up the accounts. Then I tried to find out how to make it possible to use, in addition, also the Cambodian currency - the Riel - which is used here, alternatively to the US$, every day. The Riel is available as one of the currencies that can be used in gnucash. I spent quite some time reading gnucash documents, but so far without success. I would be most grateful if somebody could help me.
