GlobalPayments HPP - Currency CAD not allowed

Question

I'm learning the GlobalPayments credit card payment process by taking their existing sample HTML structure and dynamically stuffing relevant values from my code into it. Once it's all built out then I throw it to the browser and submit the data.

This is the Global Payments sample....

Here is my dynamically generated form (scrubbed) which doesn't seem to work due to CURRENCY value.

<form action="https://pay.sandbox.realexpayments.com/pay" method="POST" target="iframe">
     <input type='hidden' name='TIMESTAMP' value='20210512115612' />
    <input type='hidden' name='MERCHANT_ID' value='MYID' />
    <input type='hidden' name='ORDER_ID' value='MYORDERID' />
    <input type='hidden' name='AMOUNT' value='4000' />
    <input type='hidden' name='AUTO_SETTLE_FLAG' value='1' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_VERSION' value='2' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_CHANNEL' value='ECOM' />
    <input type='hidden' name='COMMENT1' value='' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_LANG' value='en' />
    <input type='hidden' name='CURRENCY' value='CAD' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_CUSTOMER_EMAIL' value='[email protected]' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_BILLING_STREET1' value='123 Park Est ' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_BILLING_STREET2' value='' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_BILLING_STREET3' value='' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_BILLING_CITY' value='My City' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_BILLING_POSTALCODE' value='12345' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_BILLING_COUNTRY' value='124' />
    <input type='hidden' name='HPP_CHALLENGE_REQUEST_INDICATOR' value='NO_PREFERENCE' />
    <input type='hidden' name='MERCHANT_RESPONSE_URL' value='TARGET URL' />
    <input type='hidden' name='SHA1HASH' value='MY HASH' />
    <input type="hidden" name="CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME" value="Custom Field Data">
  <input type="submit" value="Click To Pay">
</form>

Every time I submit my form, I get Currency CAD not allowed, even though the country is Canada and the CURRENCY is set to CAD. I've tried every derivative including the currency code (124)....nothing works. I don't have any other problems but this...so far...any insight on why this would be happening would be extremely appreciated.

If you are using the new GP-API it's not yet available for Canada.. only USA for now. Canada will be available later this year.
