The $100 Casino de Isthmus it is one of the actual James Bond props made for Licence to Kill and used in LTK and Goldeneye.
I had actually negotiated the purchase of one each of the $50, $100, and $500 chips (with the $10, the only denominated chips produced-- along with the 6 colors of roulette chips) right before getting married back in 2005. But then things got busy and money got short (and the $50 had an off-center inlay), and I never took the plunge. Later when I had money again, they were no longer available . I've regretted it ever since (that is, not purchasing the chips-- I still love the marriage ).
With the subsequent sale of a number of the chips to the collector card market (they were cut in half, attached to trading cards, and sold as bonus prop 'relics' in packages of Bond collector cards) and then the Pinewood studios fire in 2006 where it was noted that a bunch of chips and other props were lost, I doubt there are many left floating out there. My search for the others (at reasonable prices, at least) continues.
I also seem to recall your picking up a $10 chip from me back in the day. I hope it's brought you luck.
