I would guess the chip is pretty much fixed, but is the die charge include the artwork and colors? Or is the $150 a hotstamp charge?

And do the casinos have inside artists, or do they have to get them designed outside (more money)?

I would think the $1 LE might not be very cost effective, but a $25 in a decent quantity (1000-2500) may be more lucrative for the casino.

So at the end of the day, what does something akin to one of the HRH $5 chips in their quantities cost per chip?
