RARE James Bond "Casino Royale" chips 
members only.
Rare prop chips from the 2006 James Bond movie "Casino Royale" starring Daniel Craig.
Early in the film, the evil Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) hosts a private poker game on his yacht.
These were chips used in that game.
I do not have a COA on these chips. but I believe them to be actual prop chips. Why do I think that?
(1) I had email conversations with the manufacturer (Cartimundi) from their offices in Belgium, and after reviewing a scan of the chips, their reply was:
"The chips you are referring to in the email below, are indeed props which have been used in “Casino Royale” (2006).
For Casino Royale, we did make chips & cards for 3 different scenes (One & Only Ocean Club, Le Chiffre & Big Casino Scene), but only the cards and chips from the Big Casino Scene has been put into the market.
On the first 2 scenes, we’ve only made props (in limited edition) and we are not allowed to commercialize those."
(2) Go to this website:

...and go to the "Casino Royale" link at the bottom, you will see the $500 chips.
(3) Rittenhouse Archives is the company that buys James Bond film props and puts them on "relic" cards to give away with their Bond trading card sets. In the case of poker chips, they cut them in half and put them on the card. This way they can double their inventory. I have attached an image of one of their $1,000 chips.
There is a current auction on 
asking for over $350 for ½ of a $1,000 chip:
(4) Note that the colors and edge spots on the chips match those shown in the screen captures above.
$60 shipped for the set of three. I have a few sets available, so if you are interested, link a 
post to this message and I will email you.
