Hello,

I have come back to this issue, because many times I find myself faced
with this problem. I believe this is a big injustice to any user of
OpenERP that does not use Euro. I believe more than half of new users,
or even existing users who create a new database will not even think to
do any company configuration before installing any modules. Especially
so because after initialization of a new database, it will take you
right to the module selection screen. Once you install the account
module, it contaminates the database, because it assumes euro is the
base currency and default ratio of 1.0. I strongly recommend you
reconsider your position on this and apply a patch quickly.

You say that you have rid of the configuration wizard in OpenERP 6.0,
but, I suggest you could do instead, when you create a new database, you
are required to select a language. You could have a currency selection
there since this information is created upon database anyway. Im sure,
you can imagine a large professional corporation installing OpenERP 6.1
and all of their accounting modules and them thinking poorly of the
program when it tries to convert their product sales into euros even
after changing the default currency to anything else....

Title:
  New database should required currency selection

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In 6.1 when you create a new database it chooses EUR by default. This
  is bad practice. In the United States we do not use Euros and any
  other country would also have the same problem. If I choose an
  american chart of accounts it still uses Eur as the default currency.
  There is no option to select this.
