I work in finance. I literally ask this question of my boss today as I deal with market data. Didn't want a negative price to fuck with our systems (I've only been at the firm for 1 year, so not entirely comfortable with all our systems). Thankfully, we don't do much with futures, so we weren't too badly affected by this. Also, we don't use int's. We use proper decimal types for currency values.
