in stores, eateries, gift shops, and all kinds of stores in casinos. They wanted people to put in slots. It was a pain so heavy and a pocket full was a real pain. I remember playing BJ at the dollar table for hours, having to get racks, to many to stack. The dealer trays only had silver $., so youm couldn't buy chips. One trip at Fremont, had 5 racks, and Wayne Newton was playing in the little lounge, near the tables, with a curtain drawn, so you couldn't see him. He was 17-18 yrs. old. The good old day's, actually liked the Silver , and did bring a bunch home often. Over the years gave them to kids and grand kids for birthday's and Christmas. Some of the kids, still have 20-30. I have 40-50, all common.
