No argument from me about tokens.
But you have to remember that the hard core members often consider 'chips' from outside Nevada as 'non-chips'.
Roy Mode and I worked on a, we believe, near complete listing of slot tokens from the U.S., cruise lines and more
Roy gave John Kallman the right to put same on his web site, if you can find it in the jumble.
It lists many details such as rotation, material, edge type etc.
When Janice left this earth so did the clubs interest in tokens. I remember making many runs for her to verify addresses and current status. My wife played the slots while I roamed. May she be happy with her new home address. After her passing my interest in Las Vegas came right after a root canal.
The main thing I liked about tokens over chips is that they were near all used for gambling and not 'junk' put out to sell to acquire as souveniers.
My venting is over - Long live the token collector.
