On a low level there are no "coins", just numeric amounts of smallest units of Bitcoin (satoshis) attached to outputs. Outputs have predicates (scripts) that allow the one who can satisfy the predicate to move amount in the output

Tangential but I find it funny that such a simple service has libraries for so many different languages. Is one simple HTTP call and JSON deserialization that hard? Personally I'd be more concerned about bringing yet another 3rd party

It's interesting that generics are so important now but they were almost dropped from .NET schedule as being "academic only": https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dsyme/2011/03/15/netc-gener...
