For most gamblers, a casino chip is simply a temporary plastic tool used to facilitate a bet at the blackjack table.

However, there is a massive and highly passionate global community that views these chips as valuable historical artifacts.

What Makes a Chip Valuable?

The value of a collectible chip is rarely tied to the actual denomination printed on its face.

Chips from casinos that were demolished decades ago are highly sought after because they are no longer in circulation.

• Chips from illegal underground gambling dens of the 1920s are incredibly rare and highly prized
• Many collectors focus exclusively on $1 chips to build massive, diverse collections without spending a fortune
• The Casino Chip & Gaming Token Collectors Club (CCGTCC) hosts massive annual conventions in Las Vegas

How to Start Your Own Collection

The easiest way to start is by keeping a single $1 chip from every casino you personally visit on your travels.

Once you develop an interest, you can explore online auction sites like eBay or dedicated numismatic forums.

Holding a chip from the 1960s Rat Pack era is a direct physical connection to the golden age of Vegas.
