What is a funny-money dance actually worth?

Clubs sell dance dollars at a markup and cash them out at a discount. See what a card or scrip dance really pays versus cash.

Questions

What are dance dollars?
Club-issued currency customers buy with a card, usually at a 10 to 20 percent markup. When you cash them out the club keeps another 10 to 30 percent. A $300 scrip sale at a 20 percent haircut pays you $240.
Should I charge more for dance dollars?
Many dancers set a scrip price that lands at their cash price after the haircut. If the club lets you set prices, that is the move; if not, steer regulars to the ATM.
