Somehow I'd gotten into my head that I'd seen {<number> DIl} and been frustrated by it, but I've now gone through the box, the board and every card of the game, and I can't find anything like it.
Most likely, I got confused due to the existence of the word qav'ap, meaning "rent" (noun), and phrases such as {ghajwI'vaD qav'ap le' yIDIl.} (Pay the special rent to the owner. [Special in the sense that it's twice the normal rent.])
I would think that if you could pay {qav'ap le'} you could pay {cha'maH DarSeq}.
I haven't read all the cards yet, because not that many came up in the game, and it seemed a bit like cheating, plus I wanted to honestly show my qepHomies (who broke the shrinkwrap on the box) that they could cover the English and I could unrehearsedly read the Klingon side. Truth be told on some of the more complex cards the Klingon instructions were CLEARER on what to pay. I hadn't played Monopoly since I was about twelve, and we never used the hotels or houses, because my parents said it made the game take too long. I think it goes faster with raQmey monmey je. ghurtaHmo' qav'apmey tugh DIllaHbe' vay' 'ej rIn Quj.

Will check when I get home. Certainly hope I haven't been spreading falsehoods.

Could you post the examples?  The only one I have of {DIl} from the game is:
