Las Vegas churches accept gambling chips!!!
This may come as a complete surprise to those of you not living in Las Vega, but there are more Catholic Churches in Vegas than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshipers at Sunday Services will give chips rather than cash when the plate is passed. Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings and redeem them for money. 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 redeemed for cash.
This is done by the Chip Monks.
You really didn't see this coming, did you?
