What is the purpose of the treasury? I understand I should pay to it during certain times, but are there times I gain from it that I must be missing?
There are many examples.
Some are explicit, e.g., the Arts Center: "For each other player who is currently occupying one of her buildings, the player receives 4 Francs from the Treasury."
Others are implicit, e.g., the Black Market: "A player who visits the Black Market may take 2 of each good (including Francs) whose Offer space is empty." If the Francs Offer space is empty, the player takes 1 Franc from the Treasury.
During the Supply action of a player's turn, the turn's Supply tile may indicate a Franc. In this case, a Franc from the Treasury is moved to the Franc offer.
