Interesting story behind this chip, Mark. Not long after the Nugget began using it, it was pointed out that the color scheme was almost a perfect match for chips from a card room in Stockton, California. So the Nugget removed them from play almost immediately and replaced them with chips with blue inserts.
The Nugget no longer has table games, but I've heard that it may bring back its poker room soon, meaning the $5 chips (with the blue inserts) would be in circulation again.
