I disagree although I see your point.  If we say "contribute 20 (insert currencies here)" and then don't take their currency it is a very bad experience. Trust me on this one.

Philippe -
I suggest you let other currencies be named in the appeals - it makes
"identification" easier: "This is meant for me!" And when contributing
people understand that all currencies can not be handled.
