True enough. I used them for all sorts of things - tolls, tips, making change, person to person transactions, offering plate at church and on and on - and quite a few people looked two or three times before they realized that, yes, this is money. Some really liked them. Seems they could have developed some method to track it better, so that the program could continue with tighter regulation to prevent the abuse that did happen.
