Don't know the book, but I assume you're asking one or both of the following
questions:
1. "Why would I need an ADT for a bank account"?
A bank account sounds like a reasonable class, for which an ADT and
associated access functions would be useful to hide details of its
implementation
2. "Why would I need ADTs for currency and dates to create a bank account"?
It seems logical that an implementation of a bank account ADT would need to
be built on the concepts of currency and dates. Both concepts have
implementation aspects that would be useful to either hide from the user or
customize, therefore they too could qualify as ADTs.
