There is a basic problem in your procedure: you can not export formats in
the CSV file.  So when you export the dates in the first column and you see
them in your csv file as long date, it means that Calc actually converted it
to the the text you are seeing. When you import it again, the cells contain
text.

As for currency, I'm not aware of a Currency data type. It is either Number
(Standard), Text or Date.

Can you explain why you want to export as CSV including formats? Maybe we
can throw same alternative solutions...
