This is all interesting and I'm sure it works, but it does look a 
little complicated and will take time to learn. Why not simply use 
play money? New City also has a unique system for keeping track of 
money and it works well, but when I played it; half way through the 
game we decided to dump it and use play money instead, which made 
the game a lot more enjoyable and let me use all of my brain for 
playing the game.
