John,

It is no for moral reasons although it is for many.

The problem is that these chips and the whore houses are being put under the heading of "Dominican Casinos", and I believe you will agree that this is as far from a casino as there is. The logo of our institution says "casino chips" not any chip that anyone collects.

If you want to put it in the guide, then take them out of under casinos and at the end of the page put a subtitle that says "Brothel chips" and then you put those chips under that heading for the 2 of us that collect them. If we allow to put all private chips that are not used for gambling, but mostly for advertising, the guide will become truly worthless and will only confuse newcomers and oldcomers that are not familiar with the country's chips.

The HD chips is an accepted UNIQUE phenomenon accepted by all. But if you notice there is a special section for them and they are not put under casinos!!

There is a trend in the DR to make chips for bussiness and for PR, because they are planning to make them there, cheap, also close to election now, all parties are hoping to make chips to pass around the people, all 27 parties. Are we going to include these under DR casinos. I will collect them and probably so will you. But, like the brothel non-gaming chips, do they belong under "casinos".

Please think about the hobby!! If we put under casino all the things you and I collect, Caribbean chips will become quite chaotic.
