throw exception when calling history() on a vietnamese stock which contains dividend record

[alai04]

Describe bug

When calling history() for Vietnamese stocks, if it contains dividend records, the dividend records will have a currency field, causing an exception. For example:

tk = yf.Ticker('PNJ.VN')
hist = tk.history(start='2024-11-01')

will cause:

Might be worth comparing div currency against price currency in metadata, sometimes Yahoo mixes currencies.
