Something I picked up from playing a few games with friends across the 
pond. If playing with a regular group of people, at the beginning of 
each season, someone trusted becomes the bank. Everyone buys their say 
30 quids worth of currency (be it chips or fake printed notes with 
hillarious pictures) and they bring them to each game afterwards 
instead. It's fun and adds a personal element but doesn't really add 
anything to the game.. except you can add a multiplier onto the cash so 
instead of 30 quid the exchange rate (obviously remains fixed) is like 1 
quid to 300 LUG Credits or something.

Just an idea, we don't have to go with it if people don't like it. Or we 
could addapt it to just happen on the night, therefore everyone arrives 
and leaves with sterling.
