81999 is August 1999. No connection to August 19th. Reasonably cool, if not entirely relevant to blackjack. I would have preferred an old car, but I have never seen another commemorative $2.50 from Reno. Clarion did a $1. I think it's a stylin' chip. At a 2000 issue, I'll be surprised if there are any left by next Saturday.

Did anyone notice not one of these chips proclaim this to be the last HAN of the millennium?
