~~~ in Europe to be resurfaced (MOP) and shipped to the Americas... or simply sold to other casinos where the monogram looked similar.

I know of such casino where a CC monogram was used in at leasr two casinos where the manufacturer actually made a different first issue and sold the CC chip to that same casino... though sometimes a different monogram was found on metal jetons than what was used on MOP.

Interesting hobby we have.
