<p>The monetary system in NXT / Ardor lets users create their own coin, but also gives the ability to distribute these coins via mining for it using one of the protocols (scrypt/keecka/etc...). When mining for these coins, who pays the network to send these monetary system coins to these users? Are there any fees involved? And when a user successfully mines a coin, do they have to have the native currency in order to send it out?</p>
