<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 2548094, member: 23368&quot;]I normally don&#039;t post chips from my collection but this is mildly interesting. With counterfeiting becoming more prevalent within certain collector coins and even paper currency, Las Vegas and other casinos have been fighting this battle for some time. Here is a chip from the early 1960&#039;s which has a serial number assigned to it to prevent counterfeiting from happening. When a casino closes; the counterfeits as well as the regular house chips become somewhat worthless to the average player. In many cases, U.S. currency must be demonetized to loose it&#039;s value and banks are actively putting the replacement currency in circulation. Again, this doesn&#039;t happen within the casino industry. This chip is 50 years old and demonstrates just how long the gaming industry has been in this war themselves.[ATTACH=full]547151[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
