How to restructure investment account with proper currency - US vs CAD (edit)

Question

Historically, I created investment US accounts in Canadian currency - Within these accounts I have created US securities in Canadian currency.  I would like to change that to have the accounts and the securities to be properly reflected in US currency.  I can easily create new investment accounts in US currency, however Quicken does not allow changing the currency of the sercurities after they have been created.  Any thoughts on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

The only option that occurs to me is to "Remove - Shares Removed" the improperly denominated securities, and "Add - Shares Added"  the securities in the proper account.

Those actions won't create Capital  Gains/Losses … but you'll need to pay  close attention to the transaction dates and amounts for the new Lots created.

@Rambler444  - btw - if using the Canadian version, you might edit your Profile to reflect that Quicken selection

Hi NotACPA -  I am aware that I can create new accounts in their corresponding currency.  The problem is how to change the existing securities' to the proper currency.
