Thanks. I'm not sure I want to get that deep into it.

Yes, they were created as 'currencies' and can't be changed.

I'll just manually enter prices periodically. It is only two of them.

If there is a way you can specify the source of the quotes (i.e. not Alphavantage), you could take the unusual route of making your own Perl module that when asked for "XAG" or "XUA", uses one of the other sources like yahoo_json to get the quote using their symbols and spits back a quote using the symbol you need. I did something like this years ago when my employer insisted on giving us shares in a weird Employee Stock Ownership Plan, whose shares were equivalent to a strange fraction of the company's stock price. I'd get the stock quote, multiply it by the fraction, and off I went.

Not an elegant solution, but it will work.
