I'm going to attempt to put together a list and collection of Lunar/Chinese New Year Chips and Silver Strikes. LMK what's out there. Will post list at future date.
I believe the first chip of this kind was the "Year of the Dog", in 1994, from Atlantic City. Since then several casinos have issued them; Harrah's Reno, Hollywood Park in California, etc. The only silver strikes set I know of is at the California Hotel in Las Vegas.
Remember it takes 12 years to complete a cycle if they issue only one per year.
Some casinos have issued all 12 at once, Crystal Park in California, but I think the one a year is the better way to attract attention and collector interest.
If you have traders, I have a few chips that are not Lunar NY's. I do have a couple $5 San Manuel Millennium chips for trade.
Thanks
