Hi there 👋 do you have an example object that shows the behavior you're describing?
It's possibly that you're presenting the payment in one currency, but the account receiving the funds can't settle in that currency so a currency conversion occurs. If that happens, the exchange_rate field should be populated to help indicate that:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object#balance_transaction_object-exchange_rate
(This is just my suspicion of what you could be seeing, that may change if I can look at a specific example of what you're referring to)

I haven't seen a fee_detail with a currency different from the parent balance_transaction yet. But I need to know if it's possible for the processing code I'm writing. Otherwise I'm risking recording fees into a third party accounting system in the wrong currency and messing up the balancing of books.

Oh, I see, sorry for misunderstanding. Hm, I've not heard of that before, but I'm not sure whether or not it ever could happen.
The only scenario coming to mind where that might happen, is if you set up your flow to settle funds in an alternative currency:
https://docs.stripe.com/payouts/alternative-currencies#setting-up-your-bank-account-for-alternative-currency-payouts
but I would recommend running this quetion by our Support team:
https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
They're more familiar with fees than we are, and I think they will be more familiar with understanding what currency a fee will be charged in.

Thanks! I appreciate the help.
