"In a casino chips are the same as money - If you pass fake money outside a casino - What do you think will happen if you get caught ???"

Same thing both places. Jail!

None of the chips I've shown were made to be passed at a casino. Why would anyone go to all that work to get face value from a casino?

Some cores were ordered by chip dealers and sold to collectors as real and for big $$$.
You can find the story in the archives on this BB and the club BB.

Most of this thread is old news.

The next big thread will be on the altering of clay chips. I can guarentee some have been sold knowingly by club members as real chips.
