Chart of Account > Go to your account that you get error > Look for Account Currency > Remove currency if it is same as company currency. It can only be different currency than your company default currency.  NOTE: If you cant see account currency in chart of account > the account form, it is because it is HIDDEN in form view. You need to edit the form and make it visible.

Nihats´ answer is correct. I am unable to reply to his comment as I have no Karma :-(
Firstly in Odoo 10 I was incapable of finding anywhere were it indicated secondary currency, as other solutions in the past have been given.
It is as simple as not defining a Currency to that account... just leave it blank. If you did define a currency, just erase it and save the changes with a blank currency. Odoo will use your default Company currency if it is blank and it will no longer give the error.
I do

Please check the assigned currencies of your corresponding accounts and journals. As long as it is not necessary you should not preassign currencies except you know exactly what you are doing.

Hi,
The account must not have company currency as secondary currency. i.e. if my company currency is USD, my accounts can not have USD as second currency, it would raise warning while posting journal entry. You should remove that currency from account.
