Well, such a type could be called "currency", "cash", "forex" or several
other possibilities, so I don't see any particular argument that "money"
has to be removed before something better can exist. The tightrope that
D'Arcy has to walk is different: improving "money" without making it so
incompatible as to break existing apps that use it.

No.
