Nice, that does help a lot. From my very basic understanding, it looks like fees are destroyed, but I am unsure. Particularly about the PRI64d\n part. I see PRI64d in other PoS coins by doing a simple google search and a few more times in the code. My guess is it is somehow related to CoinAge, but again, I am really speaking out of my element here. (like, so much so, I am sure someone will come here and tell me how much of an idiot I am any second)
I'm pretty sure PRI64d is just formatting an integer. So that would be where "nFees" goes in the string.
So, if I find a PR164d that receives "nFee" then that would show they haven't been destroyed?
The fee for a transaction is the difference between the input total and the output total. The destination for the fees is set in the block that contains the transaction.
So here's an example of a bitcoin transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/e967550ef95d28a95a4ea2e679b8b9463cea28943d3053ef65d7f5fe109ce3ad
Click to find the block it's in:
https://blockchain.info/block-index/757279
In the top transaction you see listed there, you can see where the fees (0.25520967 BTC) are sent, along with the 25BTC reward for mining the block.
Here's the paycoin transaction that destroyed the coins:

Click through to the block (the "block height" link):
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xpy/block.dws?66506.htm
You can see that the destroyed coins leave the addresses that were inputs to the transaction, and don't go anywhere. They're gone. The blockchain never lies.
So they really are destroyed, but the question remains about why they only destroyed those coins, and not all of the hyperinflation coins. Not that the answer isn't obvious.
