There's several scattered but consistent precedents to the effect that currency units are "actual things" and aren't reversible operations like pure numbers, e.g. if you have to "lose N coins" but N turns out to be negative, you don't magically gain coins, because "negative coins" don't exist as an Agoran concept. I imagine the "grant" definition of R2577 would be the same interpretation, that "granting negative coins" is a no-op, and doesn't imply "destroying coins" (though I don't think that particular version of R2577 has been tested). -G.
