Denoms for sure otherwise you're a conformist.
Without denoms they're just glorified pogs or pretty shotglass coasters. Besides I've never played in a casino where they hand you a red chip and say "These are $5's today".

I live in LA and convinced some of my home game guys that we needed to play in a live tourney. These guys were skeptical, so I scoped out a $20 buy in $10 rebuy event at the Club Caribe on Saturday afternoon. We show up and the tourney chips have no denoms on them! To top it off, blue were 5, tan were 25, and black were 100. I actually had to ask the dealer how much chips were worth.
Good news is, we had 5 total people and 3 of us made the final table out of ~45 people. I was out in the 20s so I had 3 people cash in their first live tourney. I now have a hooked group of live tourney goers whenever I feel the need to have someone with me to support my gambling addiction.
