Hey, this means that virtual money-on particles may exist.

If a bank transfers some $-quanta to another bank, and if during the
interaction the credit-process occurs before the debit-process, then
for a short time we have a violation of the $-conservation rule.  But
that's OK, because whenever we try to examine this event, the banks will
refuse to allow our investigation.  The closer we look, the less
information is revealed, and so we are unable to prove that $-ton
particles are conserved over small time scales.  Perhaps we can even
perform some experiments where the presence of "illegal" $-ton particles
have an effect.  Virtual $ particles may well exist, but in the long
run, the total number of "real" $ particles is conserved.

Statistical analysis performed on large numbers of $-ton interactions show
that the $-quanta is not the ultimate subdivision.  Rather, it is an
"atom" which apparently is composed of subunits dubbed "$-tinos."  Each $
actually contains four $-tinos, although some might argue that the $-tinos
become delocalized within each $-ton, and therefor lack real existence.
Does each $-ton have four $-tinos orbiting around within it?  When we
split the $, do we *release* the four $-tinos, or do we *create* them?  Or
perhaps is there a "sea" of virtual $-tinos which can only be accessed
during an interaction, and when the $ is destroyed, the interaction
ejects four $-tinos from the virtual particle sea.

Suppose I store a large number of $-ton particles in a single enormous
gem-quality diamond.  Suppose I drop it and it shatters.  I can no longer
retrieve those $-ton particles from storage.  The $-tropy of the universe
has permanently increased.

Experiments which involve much larger numbers of $-interactions reveal
that the four $-tinos themselves contain even smaller particles. Perhaps
our finanical universe is not constructed of $-tinos, but instead is
nothing but $-uarks, each $-uark having 1/100 the charge of a single $.
This sort of result is extremely upsetting.  What if the $-uark itself is
composed of subunits?!  If we cannot locate the ultimate quanta behind the
financial universe, how will we ever be able to understand it?
