Hmm.  This would be a problem when there is an org with A$251 and
252 members, but unless somebody finds a way to make something besides
players become a member of an organization, or a way to let the same
players count more than once, I don't think it's going to matter.

The alternative, rounding down, results in an org being able to actually
own up to A$249 + A$1 x (number of members) since at this point it would
be continuously transferring A$0 to each member.  Hmm.
