Fakes, counterfeit, and replicas,are the same thing in my mind. If something is fake, it is a counterfeit and a replia. If it is counterfeit, it is fake, and a replica. If it is a replica it is not real, leaving it a fake making it a counterfit. A fantsy item would not fall into one of these 3 areas, which is really one area. In most cases the fantsy chips give the impression that they are casino related. thess do not and I would not call them any of the above. I call them poker chips.
