I think I put it in my top 10 for Jim's top 10 project.

I have never seen another denomination in person or for sale (although Charles and John apparently have $25 and $100 chips) and all of the chips I have seen are in fantastic condition. This has led some to speculate that the casino never opened. After a search on the internet, I found a reference on a travel board where they discussed some sort of corruption on St. Maarten leading to the closing of the Bon Bini Casino, so I believe it was a real casino. I would imagine it was not open long, given the condition of the chips. No idea where the other chips are, though.

The reason for my story is that you may not be able to easily find a $1 chip or a $25 chip that fits your collection. If I see any, I will let you know (well, it would have to be 2 $1 chips).
