Most all of us that came from the coin field had wooden nickels made for many years and then when we started dealing in casino chips we had chips made up. I remember Archie's, Bills from Las Vegas and Bob Matthews from many years ago. I believe they were the first with chips. The gold chain and watch that I have at many of the conventions has a few one dollar gold pcs on it that I purchased from Bob Matthews and I always think about my friend when I have it with me.
