I think you are fooling yourself thinking that this is easy. They put in
date data into an amount field. Sorry but that is just an oops in data
entry, or in mapping.
I dunno. Every blessed shopping cart website on the planet forces me to
pick the expiration year for my credit card out of some apparent dire fear
that if I am allowed to type in my own year the sky will fall, instead of,
at worst, having the call to the credit-card-verification service fail.
Nobody loses any money in that case.
This is brain dead simple; it's not even necessary for the application to
know what specific co-pay values are valid. It just needs to present a
pick-list of values no longer than the list of years I get at a
shopping-cart site. $10.00, $15.00, $20.00, etc. etc... Problem solved. No
errors, nobody loses $6 million.
