That would be the most logical.
Independence (DH) did that in their program and that's what most of the car rental and hotel companies do.

I think the important aspect here is what MM noted -- the currency had to be fake and not revenue-based in the beginning, but now that it's established most companies see that as a benefit to the employee and don't concern themselves with it. The others that came around afterward could be dollar-based going forward.
