Yeah, this was how I was thinking as well.

But to continue the analogy, it's more like you split yourself into two smaller "you"s, and in the process each new "you" gets half a coin in the pocket of each new "you".

To clarify, it would be more like you have a group of 10 coins and each of your offspring get 5, but grow back to having 10 during development
