Thanks for the info on the Venetian $5 chips

Didn't even know about that error! I try to stay abreast of Las Vegas developments but sometimes varieties, errors and even new issues don't come to my immediate attention. Last year I scrambled to find all of those Treasure Island varieties of orange parrots, yellow parrots, clouds above ship, etc., etc. I finally amassed all of them but the incessant squawking of the birds is driving me nuts. As is my bill for crackers.

Yes, I suspect the casinos quickly go through their stock if any mistake is noted (especially if not approved by the Nevada Gaming Board!) and off they go, for destruction. Someone - Curt Squires I think - could tell you an interesting story about how he went to some northern Nevada casino and looked over their CIC chips for cacti with one arm missing, two arms, Nevada misspelled, etc., etc. He found something like 7 different errors before the casino manager told him in no uncertain terms to Vamoose.
