MS Money requires pounds, rather than pence. That's why it's converted.

For non-US symbols, I suggested using ft.com or Google Portfolio.

The reason is that Yahoo does not return a currency, so I just blindly assume 
the price in the based currency. I have something in mind to fix this: allow 
user to specify the currency of the quote source. For example, let you have an 
option to say for symbol XYZ the currency is GBX. 

For now, stay away for Yahoo for non US symbols ;-).

I've added an additional column in the mapper.cvs called "QuotesSourceCurrency" 
that you can use to specify the currency of a security if the quote source is 
not providing it. Can you give this a try and see if it works for you:

  . For mapper.csv file, see: http://code.google.com/p/hle-ofx-quotes/wiki/mapperDotCsv
Example:
MSMoneySymbol,QuotesSourceSymbol,IsMutualFund,IsOptions,QuotesSourceCurrency
VINCI,DG.NX,FALSE,FALSE,EUR
