Thanks for the welcome, Jim. I just got done looking at your Sahara Plaque Registry page. Talk about cool!! These are some of the neatest pieces of gambling memorabilia around, and I would love to be able to assemble a set period, let alone a matched set!. I have 3 $20s, 2 $100s, and a $50. I will look up the numbers when I get home this weekend, and send you an e-mail.
Re: Bond and casinos: I don't have that many obsolete chips, but when I was first looking for casinos to collect, I actually fired up the Diamonds are Forever DVD to see some of the places that were around back then. Of course, the literary Bond would never have played the sucker craps bets like Bond did in the movie, but it did give him the chance to utter the "Named after your father, perhaps?" line.
