> that the "money you have" is just an int32

well, luckily, that's not how money is stored, but instead, they're transaction based. Aka, that number you have is a calculated value, not a stored, arbitrary value.

Except...perhaps the central bank's, where they could really just generate that money as an arbitrary value to lend out to other banks.

footnote: of course, your account balance is cached, so that it is not recalculated over and over again...
