I like this in principle.  However, since money does not appear or
disappear but goes somewhere, I suggest that all money movements be
handled by a single function ("Transfer" with two arguments) and
logged as a single action.  If "add $30 to Player 1" and "subtract
$30 from the Bank" are two separate actions, it's too easy for one
to get done and the other skipped.
