No, currency is different. PoS and PoC will default to the relevant currency (not necessarily local currency) but that's not the change here. In theory at least if you ask for a booking to be priced over into Sterling, US or Canadian dollars, Euros that should be possible, certainly it is with travel agents and GGL.
