I didn't receive an allowance as a child, but my sister (six years my junior) did. I don't think either of us is more or less responsible with money than the other.

When our eldest (now four) turned three, we created a chore chart/allowance system, but it wasn't so much with the idea of getting her to do stuff around the house; it was to cut down on extraneous toy purchases. If the money comes out of her pocket for a trinket, and she can't something until she earns her allowance again, I think that's a valuable connection for her to learn. It literally gives her a visible illustration of work and reward.
