One concern I see is if we do add such types to the standard then every 
related structure may have to be passed by transports that always assume 
a certain level of authentication and security. That would subsequently 
make stateless connections harder by default.

I agree if it is possible to do such then it would be great, but there 
would be practical consequences if the data can't dance. I think it 
should only be introduced as an optional extension where the connection 
is already stateful. That would at least help guarantee the general 
meaning of currency, yet I'm sure we could think of specific currencies 
that can have stateless transports. I have demonstrated one, so I 
wouldn't want to break that content. =)
