Manually set pocket currency

When adding a subscription to a pocket the base currency of the payment seems to determine the base currency of the pocket; I don’t want pockets with multiple currencies as suggested in another topic.

I’d like to be able to manually set the currency of the pocket that I add the subscription to no matter what the base currency of that payment was. This way I can determine how I want to populate that pocket and at what time a currency conversion should happen.

The primary benefit of this is that it gives control to the user and doesn’t complicate the pocket UI or management; today if I have a USD payment but want to pay in EUR for it I can’t with pockets and I need multiple pockets and conversions when I don’t need them. The suggested change would make this much easier to use for people that primarily use one specific currency but have payments in multiple.
