Welcome to the board! There are a few books out there (and someone will make a recommendation to you on which book is best).

If you need a quick fix on tokens (until you find a guide) go to Dan Wickett's web site. He has the best web site that deals with casino tokens (with 1000's of scans).

Dan is also very knowledgeable on the subject and he has answered many of my questions.

And on coin cups, No there are many of us who collect coin cups as well! I only have a handful of cups that I use to store my pocket change in.
