I'll bet you're wearing out that car, literally "driving it into the ground." While your casino chips are safe and well protected, getting no use at all. OK, bad example. You could probably restore that car, too. Another bad example.

FWIW, an interesting observation about antique casino chips vs. antique cans. I bet no one ever finds a few cases of those conetop cans sitting in mint condition in a vault somewhere.

Collect 'em because you love 'em.
