In the question the amount was passed without quotation marks, which may be interpreted as a number instead of a string. This answer should probably be a little more elaborate, but I think it's actually an attempt to answer.

<p>9000000000 is not a legal amount. Getting your amounts correct is extremely important and you <em>definitely</em> don't want to even think about using JSON integers because their representation range is unspecified.</p>

<p>As the <a href="https://xrpl.org/basic-data-types.html#specifying-currency-amounts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation for specifying currency amounts</a> says, amounts of XRP are represented as strings, not integers. The number of integer drops is specified as a string, with each drop being one millionth of an XRP. So you probably wanted <code>"9000000000"</code> to specify 9,000,000,000 drops or 9,000 XRP.</p>

9000000000 is not a legal amount. Getting your amounts correct is extremely important and you *definitely* don't want to even think about using JSON integers because their representation range is unspecified.

As the [documentation for specifying currency amounts](https://xrpl.org/basic-data-types.html#specifying-currency-amounts) says, amounts of XRP are represented as strings, not integers. The number of integer drops is specified as a string, with each drop being one millionth of an XRP. So you probably wanted `"9000000000"` to specify 9,000,000,000 drops or 9,000 XRP.
