...and further breakdown; numismatic: numisma, what is sanctioned by law; nomisein: to saction / nomos, law: see NOMY.

NOMY: [Gr.-nomia = to distribute] having to do with law.

Not my interpretation, Archie, but rather that of the HPA.

Casino chips are not government issue. The term NUMISMATIC and COINAGE are defined within the HPA. It's all very clear and has been explained to us by lawyers in our club that casino chips are not NUMISMATIC items. It's all archived.

Again... It's not my interpretation, but rather that of the HPA.
