I'm not commenting one way or the other about the "Truman chips" or the other stuff, but a quick google search brought up an interesting page concerning giveaway items that LBJ handed out:

"Political Leaders have routinely expressed their respect and friendship for their contemporaries with gifts. President Johnson was no exception. As Senate majority leader and as Vice President, he was accustomed to distributing inexpensive token such as pencils, ballpoint pens, and pins—one in the shape of a Western hat.
When he became President, Johnson ordered a variety of objects to present to visitors and special quests. He kept a selection of appropriate gifts in a special "giveaway" drawer in his desk in the Oval Office.
These "giveaways" ranged in quantity and quality from cigarette lighters, pens, and small pocket knives to Accutron clocks, marble and silver bookends in slipcase, and gold Rolex watches. Other gifts included medallions, small-scale reproductions of a sculptured portrait by Jimilu Mason, autographed photographs, photo albums, Western hats, and cuff links—both solid gold and gold-plated. Most gifts bore the facsimile signature or cipher of LBJ, the Presidential Seal, or the inscription of the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." An especially prized gift was a small charm of a water well, recalling the old Western compliment that the recipient of this gift was indeed someone who "will go with you to the well and back."
