This is something I didn't know and makes me think twice about collecting chips. Apparently casino chips specifically those made by GPI/Paul-Son contain high levels of lead this according to two sources the first from an article on the LasVegasVegas.com website and the second from a printed and video report from ABC15 in Phoenix which claims that 100% of the casino chips they tested exceeded the EPA’s allowable limit for lead with chips containing upwards of 47% lead. What is everyone else's take on this?
