Of course you can use an integer as a key to a hash:

irb(main):001:0> h={}
=> {}
irb(main):002:0> h[44523]='a string'
=> "a string"
irb(main):003:0> h[71234]='another string'
=> "another string"
irb(main):004:0> h
=> {44523=>"a string", 71234=>"another string"}
irb(main):005:0> h[44523]
=> "a string"
