I went on a junket to Bonaire in the 60's with 2 friends. It was a 'bustout'joint. NOBODY won.When we were leaving I asked for a $5 chip as a souvenier. After much heming and hawing they gave me one if I promised never to cash it in. This was before I was collecting chips. I drilled a hole in it and wore it around my neck as a reminder never to be a sucker again.I wore it while swimming in the ocean and it faded badly. Years later when I started collecting chips I was in my friends house-the one who was in Bonaire with me and saw that he had kept his chip. I asked and he gave it to me. A few years ago at the Convention someone offered me $300 for it. A year later the HOARD appeared !!!!!!!!!
