>> This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but
>> there are more Catholic churches there than casinos. Not surprisingly, some
>> worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when
>> the basket is passed.
>>
>>
>> Since they get chips from so many different casinos, the churches have
>> devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected
>> chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting and then the chips are
>> taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.
