I don't think you can change that after the account has been saved, but in general I wouldn't because that restricts the currency of any transactions that go into that account.
In other words, if they set the currency as USD, you wouldn't be able to use that item/account on a CAD transaction and you'd end up having to have separate accounts (and maybe items) per currency, which is hugely inefficient.
If you have regulatory or other reporting reasons where you'd want to separate out currencies, then maybe that would make sense, but otherwise I wouldn't.
