Not a lot of people realize it, but Las Vegas actually has more Catholic churches than it does casinos. Not surprisingly, some of the faithful will place casino chips instead of cash in the collection plate. This used to be quite the headache for the local churches until they devised a plan: Every Monday, each church delegates a member of staff to take the chips to a nearby Franciscan monastery for sorting. The friars - for a percentage - take the chips round to the various casinos, cash them in, and return the proceeds to the appropriate churches.
