told me that he ordered them from Chipco. I dont know why he would of told me that if they werent. I do know that he is the one who does the ordering there. I will call him tomorrow and ask him if they are not. Maybe he was referring to the style of chip when he told me they were chipco, but he did tell me chipco. He told me they came in on the Friday before the limits went up so that would of been on 6-29. I was there on 7-1 when i got my $25 but i didnt realize at the time that the new $5 were differnt or i would of picked up some then. My $25 also does not have the white ring.
