Overview

Money that must be encrypted at rest. Rails encrypts only works on text columns, so amounts are stored as canonical decimal strings and surfaced as BigDecimal. BigDecimal in, BigDecimal out; Float never.

Accepted trade-off (documented): encrypted amounts cannot be aggregated in SQL — all totals are computed in Ruby. Fine well past 100 employees.
