As I close my first year of being what is commonly referred to as a "chipper", I'd like to thank all the folks that have helped me move from just a few chips to having an actual "collection".

I always knew that completing the AC collection was going to take some time but one of the real surprises was how difficult is has been to complete the various states. For some reason, I thought getting a current $1 chip from all the US casinos would be easy. Alas, it has been very difficult to complete even the states with very few casinos.

So as we end this year, here is yet another plea for the following $1 chips to complete a handful of states:

Arizona:

Illinois:

Indiana:

Iowa:

Kansas:

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful and prosperous chipping New Year!
