[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3425012, member: 112"]To people who know what they are doing, they are not worth any more at all. In fact they are probably worth less.

Ya see, there's a couple of things involved here. For one, the "old green holder" was used for a long time, a lot longer than most people are aware of, about 10 years if memory serves correctly.

Something else many if not most are unaware of, is that the OGH game was not new when it happened in '98, that was the second go round for that game. The first occurred about 10 years before that. And even after 2001 the very same game of resubmitting coins in previous generation holders for upgrades has been played several times more. And it is still being played today, vigorously. People who know what they are doing have known this all along and they have played the game many times.
