... chips are chips (well, maybe chips & checks! 
), jetons are jetons (or "fancy" chips) and tokens are tokens.
Anyone who comes into our hobby should come prepared to use the terminology which we commonly accept, or risk misunderstanding and confusion.
In the context of collecting casino memorabilia, a chip is simply NOT a token and anyone who wants to clearly communicate what he is talking about (and who doesn't want to look silly in the eyes of chip collectors who are not sophisticated in foreign languages and/or don't have the foggiest idea what the ANA terminology is, which is most of us) should not use "tokens" to mean "chips".
Seems pretty simple to me.
BTW, JB, are Europeans calling the Chipco style chips now being made by B&G "jetons", too?
What do they call Nevada chips (Chipco, Paul-Son, Bud Jones, etc.)?
