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 worshipers at Sunday services will give casino chips instead of cash when the basket is passed.

Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their chips to a nearby Franciscan monastery for sorting, and then the chips are taken to the various casinos of origin, and cashed in.



























Wait for it........

























All this work is done by the Chip Monks.
