Feedback about fresh open source project
If you're happy to bring in another library, you could replace your Date VO class with the LocalDate class from the brick/datetime library. It does the same thing, just has three int fields inside instead of a string in Y-m-d format.

Which native PHP features do you regret not knowing about/adapting earlier?
If you need to store subsets of a date-time-timezone combination, then take a look at brick/date-time instead.

Symfony is creating a component Clock to decouples applications from the system clock
Slightly related but https://github.com/brick/date-time is a wonderful library to manage datetime concepts in a proper way.

civil-date-time: a civil date/time library for PHP
Looks like a CivilDate is the same thing that brick/date-time calls a LocalDateTime. Does this library have any advantages over the one from Brick?

Do you use a DateTime wrapper?
I like https://github.com/brick/date-time

Stopping time with PHP
It is a good practice to use an interface to manage the clock in an application, as it allows having full control of time. For example, it eases testing, as it lets us define the concrete time for each test. Frank de Jonge and Matthias Noback have blog posts about it, brick has an implementation, and there is even a PSR proposal to have a ClockInterface.

How are you handling your money?
In Java and Ruby, BigDecimal is an inbuilt class that can be used. For PHP, you can checkout the Brick Math Library Basically, just find the arbitrary-precision Decimal type/Class/Library in your choice of language. Got another approach, please do let me know in comment section.

What are the latest thoughts on storing and working with very large and very small financial transactions?
I decided to use https://github.com/brick/math and store the amount as a string in the database. My project use NANO, so that's 30 decimal points to keep. Number type column is not the choice at all.

Vote for enums in PHP 8.1 has started — looking good so far!
There are many use cases where enums don't need to be backed by a scalar. I'm thinking of brick/math's RoundingMode for example: you use these in code, but never store/serialize them really.

(int) (round(19.33, 2) * 100) = 1932 - can someone please explain this to me?
Besides, using an arbitrary-precision library gives you an unlimited number of digits, and, in the case of brick/math, many more rounding modes to choose from. And predictable ones.
