... "essentially abolished the manufacture and sale of LE and Commemorative casino chips"... and from what I understand from that post it is also illegal to even remove chips from the casino floor.

That's not the way I read David's post. The ruling according to the person David spoke to said that LE chips could no longer have Limited Edition on them ... or LTD numbers. Nowhere did I read that a Nevada casino could not issue any more Commemorative (LE) chips.

As for removing chips from the casino floor... may I remind everyone that Nevada has speed limits on it's local roads and highways that many drivers do not pay any attention to either.
