 \begin{proof}
+A coin can only be spent by either running the deposit protocol or the refresh
+protocol with the exchange.  Thus every time a coin is spent, the exchange
+obtains either a deposit-permission or a refresh-record, both of which
+contain a signature made with the public key of coin to authorizing the
+respective operation.  If the exchange as a set of refresh-records and
+deposit-permissions whose total value exceed the value of the coin, the
+exchange can show this set to prove that a coin was double-spend.
