Saving Coins.
It looks very likely that they will work. Myself I'm counting on it since I'm carrying a lot of coins to the next Act.

My stragedy is to loose as much as I can in the dice game by betting 2 or 12 and win the purple chips, key chains and coasters. I can always trade in the purple things for chips if I need to. If not I don't need to use them in Act II. It will give me a jump start in act III.
