So, can your proposal work with this kind of structure as well? Or mest
the division into currencies happen at the lowest level of account?
The division happens at the lowest level, however the proposal still can
work with this kind of structure. In this case all the multi-currency
accounts would just have 1 sub-account for the currency, which the
assets are nominated in.
How do you "make an operation in this currency"? Suppose I am entering
a new transaction: what is the currency of that transaction? I think
there is an answer possible, but it needs to be defined.
The proposal is generally for the data structure. I don't have the full
vision of the interface yet. Probably it would be a drop-down menu for
currency in the ledger. It may look like this:

Here I merged together splits for the same multi-currency account, but
different sub-accounts for trading and cash exchange, so there is debit
and credit in one line, but in different currencies. I'm not sure, that
it should be done this way, but in this simple examples it looks good
for me.

You can use either first or second "Paying for a dinner abroad" example
from the screenshot above. It only depends on which currency you prefer
this expenses would be tracked in.
