Commodity

Any unit you can hold an amount of: a currency (USD, EUR), a stock (AAPL), or crypto (BTC). A currency is just a commodity that happens to be money. Surebeans handles them all the same way.

A Posting carries its amount in one commodity. An Account is not locked to a single commodity; it can hold several at once.
