The financial system is unique in that it seems to sustain the ability to currupt itself.

Clearly you just need a good cash invalidation protocol.

Several countries and banking systems have already been using that protocol:

Looking at the financial news, European Union may be adopting it too.

Yes, but Linus fixed it in commit 7658cc289288b8ae7dd2c2224549a048431222b3.

Give a man a gun, and he robs a bank. Give a man a bank, and he robs the world.
In Soviet Russia, you rob bank.

And in the Western World, banks rob you.
Via the aforementioned cash invalidation protocol :-/
