Australian casino chips seem to be among the least documented.
I have exchanged e-mails with a couple Aussie’s, and have been told that there is almost no organized information or documentation available within Australia.
At this point I am suggesting only a textual database (ala The Chip Rack) that can be posted back to the chipboard. An organized on-line catalog with scans is a future possibility.
I AM NOT going to do a book! If enough information is accumulated to make it worthwhile, I will try to find a place on the web to make it freely available.
I am using The Chip Rack’s format for chip descriptions:
Denom - Color - Mold - Inserts - Inlay - D Color - Inlay Desc.- Date
Any input is welcome, data, descriptions, scans, suggestions, corrections, rude comments, flames. Bring it on.
The following list is what I have assembled so far. It is most definately a work in progress, incomplete, incorrect, messy, etc.
