The Aquarium of Chips!

But does anyone know what the Castello di Giove chips were used for? Actual card games in the Castello? Souvenirs?
Denomination in Dollars - shouldn't it be Euros or Lirae?

Story of my Youth: When I was about 4 or 5 years old, my father used to drive to Tarrytown, NY, on weekends, if I had been good. I got to see all the gasoline stations along the way - there were plenty once outside of White Plains. We would end up at the Tappan Zee where my father (an engineer) was fascinated at the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge across the Hudson River. Anyway - along the way, on the east side of Tarrytown, we would pass a Castle atop a hill! For whatever reasons my parents never figured out just where it was, although we figured out it was owned by Axe Securities. Several years ago, on an infrequent visit back East, I decided enough was enough, and found the entry road to the Castle and drove up to it. It is now a combination swanky restaurant, hotel and convention center. But no chips that I know of.

Anyway, that's my only visit to a real castle. Those who like such things will appreciate the history and photos. And for those who don't . . . well, guess I'm driving y'all batty again.
