When an account receives a new currency, PayPal holds that payment until the account owner decides whether to open a balance in that currency, convert it automatically to their primary currency, or refuse the payment. See:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/sell/mc/mc_receive-outside

So go into the receiver account and accept the payment to open a balance in the currency and this won't happen to future payments in those currencies.

To fix this, you could create an array with all valid currencies that you accept for payment, and then check that mc_currency is in that array when it is passed via the IPN.

$valid_currency = array("USD", "GBP", "EUR");
if(!in_array($_POST['mc_currency'], $valid_currency) {
    // Not a valid currency according to your list
} else {
    // Is a valid currency according to your list
}
