A similar example is a casino. You can get all the chips you want, but you can only use them to play that casino's games, by that casino's rules. Now imagine if you had to pay a $75 fee to use the teller window.

Slightly off-topic, but just to quibble with your example -- the times I've been at casinos in Lake Tahoe, I've had no problems bringing chips from one casino to another one -- they just change them into their own currency right at the table. (maybe they're really alliance partners and I was doing a codeshare, though )

(of course, this in no way affects the main argument here...)
