This is interesting and it might be an optional configuration for the automatic account creation wizard, but not for most users who use a single currency in their accounting. Also, this is not the usual place to propose enhancements, but it would be a good place to refine a concept prior to making

The card, with a cash value on it, is an asset - probably best described as a "prepaid expense." The fully accurate way to account for it: 1. When you "put cash onto the card": -- credit "cash" (or bank account, or credit card, or wherever you get the money that you put onto the t
