I can’t say definitively this is what is happening, but it is an educated guess based on my knowledge and the behavior we are seeing. I suspect that the scanner reports the budget in coin units because that is the inherent unit of the budget – it is not possible to set a budget to a sub-coin amount. Probably Simoyd expected Fuzzy to fix the site quicker, and therefore decided on the least hacky bandaid that wouldn’t result in requiring multiple updates, data migrations or periods of inconsistent data once the site was updated.
All my suppositions could be wrong, we should probably just wait to hear from Simoyd or Fuzzy.
