Roy Klein posted a scan of some Billionaire's Club chips a little earlier today. Shown below are 2 Billionaire's and a Millionaire's Club chip that I have in my collection. I purchased the Fink's Billionaire's $1.00 Yellow chip and the Millionaire's chip from the Coin Co. (Howdy Herz) in his September 30, 1993 Auction #7. I paid a little over $60.00 each for the 2 chips. I don't have the records on hand at this moment for the Fink's Billionaire's Club $1.00/25c chip (but I am sure I have them somewhere - ).
Ed Hertel lists in his ILLEGAL CHIP GUIDE a "Brown" Fink's $1.00/25c chip. It looks like there was a whole series of these curious "Double Denomination Chips" as Ed lists a "Brown" chip, I have a "White" chip and Roy Klein has a picture of a "Yellow" one.
I have no idea what the purpose of these chip was, but they are certainly "neat" chips. By the way, Ed Hertel listed a value of around $400.00 each for the Fink's chips and around $100.00 for the Millionaire's Club chip. I have no idea of what they would be worth today.
Take care,
