Dayna,

My apologies as I thought you had sent this to the mifos-users mailing
list. You should send all question like this there. I've included some
replies but have also cc'd the list.

Chart of Accounts. The default COA is simply a starting point from which
you can add or modify additional accounts according to your organization's
chart of accounts.

Currency

The currency that Mifos uses.

This setting causes Mifos to use currency set internally, in its
calculations and database. Externally, you will see no effect. The user
interface does not display currency symbols ($, £, etc.). This is a known
issue <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.finance.mifos.devel/5457>.  This
sets the default currency in Mifos.  All accounting rules without a
currency code on the property applies to the default currency.
*Property name*: AccountingRules.CurrencyCode
*Mutability*: 
TRAPDOOR<http://mifos.org/documentation/configuration#about-the-one-time-settings>
*Options*: 3 letter Alphabetical codes from this list - `ISO 4217 currency
codes <http://www.iso.org/iso/support/currency_codes_list-1.htm>`_
*Default*: INR

*Example*: AccountingRules.CurrencyCode=INR causes Mifos to use the Indian
rupee as the currency.
 If you want to use an additional currency for loan products, the setting
is used to set an additional currency code.  Use the currency code to set
specific rounding rules below for that currency.
*Property name*: AccountingRules.AdditionalCurrencyCodes
*Mutability*: TRAPDOOR <http://mifos.org/#about-the-one-time-settings>
*Options*: any currency code
*Default*: none

I need to verify however that currency isn't only a one-time setting that
you have to configure on initial install.

Natalia - could you please verify whether or not currency is a TRAPDOOR
one-time setting?
