GnuCash supports over a hundred currencies, from the Andorran Franc to the Zimbabwe Dollar. For example, you can have a bank account set up in Euros, and another using Hong Kong Dollars.

Some of the issues which arise when using multiple currencies are, how do you transfer funds between accounts with different currencies? How do you calculate the overall value when you have mixed currency accounts? How do reports deal with mixed currencies?

	Note
	An alternative way to manage multiple currency accounts from the one presented in the next sections, is to use the trading accounts capabilities of GnuCash. This feature, which was introduced with GnuCash version 2.3.14, can be enabled by going to the Accounts tab under File → Properties. For a complete guide on trading accounts, see this tutorial by Peter Selinger.
