Generally, some of the money must be unspent, or it must still be in your mempool (which means that it'll work fine for the money you've just received).

If you want to be able to view older transactions that have been entirely spent, and you have a non-pruned node, you can do so by maintaining a set of all transactions with the txindex=1 configuration, which is what our scripts suggest for all non-pruned instances. Granted, this isn't super useful, because it's the hex-encoded transaction data. Fortunately, you can get a more verbose description just by adding a '1' to your command: ```
