Thanks for the reply. That is sort of what I thought but it did concern me when I started to hear some of the stories or suggestions from people about deliberately puting quantities of foriegn tokens into machines. It makes it sound as though it may be a bigger problem than I had originally thought. Incidentally, There was another post last week about asking at the cage for foriegn chips. That sounded like an interesting thought for collectors. Granted a foriegn chip will unlikely get through the cage or a game but if one is given to someone in a tip cup or something and an employee turns them into the tip pools what do they do when they come through the count. Do they have systems for exchanging them back with the original casino or do they sell them or just write them off and destroy them.
