We’ve behaved as if it’s possible to pay someone zero shinies, at least. That 
involves switch manipulation, though I don’t think we’ve ever CFJed that 
specific set of actions down to the detail needed to determine whether the 
Balance switches involved are actually flipped.

However, you’ve got a point. I should probably record this as a 5-shiny pend, 
since that’s trivially the minimum allowable amount unless someone has a 
perverse interpretation of “allowable” in mind. (fx: stares at Quazie)
