Good attempt at a scam. I had already anticipated it, however, and I think you 
will find you'd rather have submitted to the currency revaluation.

If anyone spots the booby-trap, please don't point it out. I want the delicious 
satisfaction of seeing their reactions when it activates. c:

If you’re referring to the Point Installation Act, I think that will be

Do you thing the transferring-to-contract actually worked?  It takes non-obvious
(and frankly a bit iffy) logic to conclude that.  I'm curious on your logic on
that, if it matches ours, that's some confirmation that it's a reasonable 
reading.

There was a moderately recent past ruleset under which you could
transfer assets to contracts but the contracts couldn't transfer them
back. (I was considering this trick myself as a method of dodging a
tax, but realised that it wouldn't work.)

I can't remember what the current ruleset is like, but I suspect it's
changed since.

A key change that Aris made recently was changing R2483 from this 
(referring to Coins and the other currencies):
  They can be owned by Agora, players, contracts, and
  facilities.
to this:
  They can be owned by Agora, players, and facilities.

Now, Rule 2576 says:
If an asset's backing document
  restricts its ownership to a class of entities, then that asset
  CANNOT be gained by or transferred to an entity outside that
  class [...]  By default, ownership of an
  asset is restricted to Agora, players, and contracts.

So, the question is, when R2483 says that Agora, players, and 
facilities can own these currencies, is that an exceptio probat
regulam restricting all others (so that contracts can't get the
currencies) or does it add to the default list so that contracts
still can?

Wait, really?  I thought you were being intentionally ambiguous.
