You overrode __eq__ on a Money class, and when you tried to put an object in a set, you got TypeError: unhashable type. Why did this happen, and how do you correctly implement equality and hashing?

How to approach it

This checks your understanding of the hashing protocol in Python: why __eq__ without __hash__ makes an object unhashable, what contract connects equality and the hash, and why set and dict keys must be immutable.
