Ove, Your book currency is the currency set on the invisible Root account, set in the New Account Hierarchy Assistant (or not if you didn't use that assistant to set up your book). The only way to see it once you've finished the assistant is to look in the file. The Default Currency preference is used mostly for creating new accounts.
