createCurrency

Requires at least one of the permissions settings:currency:create or settings:tenant:update.

Adds a currency to the organization, creating the platform-wide currency record first when it does not exist. A currency already in the organization is refused. The first currency, or one flagged as base, becomes the base currency. Requires permission to create currencies or update tenant settings.
