What Kind of Chips Can I Collect? COTD

What Kind of Chips Can I Collect? CHIP OF THE DAY

Welcome to the second sneak peak week of the more than 100 chips from the article I'm writing for the "Casino Collectable News".

I welcome any suggestions, feedback & most importantly corrections.
Here are the What Kind of Chips Can I Collect? Chips Of The Day for 10/2/2012!

* * * * *
There are whole unit + fraction (WUF?) chips but other than $2.50 there are not many to collect.
Here are some examples:

Grand Casino

Reasons to collect....
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Denomination: €1,25 (unique)
Mold: Jeton
Notes/Information: I do not know how this denomination is used but I would guess it is a drop chip. I have seen a few other 1.25 denomination chips.

* * *

Top of the Vine

Reasons to collect....
Location: Lebrec, CA
Denomination: $1.50 (unique)
Closed Casino
Mold: PMSC
Notes/Information: I'm guessing this PMSC (plastic molded slug core) chip is a drop chip from a closed card house in California. I have seen a few other 1.50 denomination chips.

The Garage

Reasons to collect....
Location: unknown
Denomination: $3.50 (unique)
Home/personal set
Notes/Information: I got this chip in a “box-o-stuff” from Von McKenzie so who knows where it comes from. There is a $3.50 chip from the Top of the Vine casino.

* * *

If you like this chip what else could you collect that is similar?
There is no way of knowing how many whole unit + fraction denomination chips exist. I am always on the look-out for “odd-ball” denomination chips to add to my collection and you can too.

Thanks for looking - Hello Tuesday!
