# Test spending coinbase transactions.
# The coinbase transaction in block N can appear in block
# N+100... so is valid in the mempool when the best block
# height is N+99.
# This test makes sure coinbase spends that will be mature
# in the next block are accepted into the memory pool,
# but less mature coinbase spends are NOT.
