Why not buy your chips from the Casino's?

[Slacker]

I had a friend pick up an assortment of chips from various casino's while in Vegas last week.

She brought back quite a few $1 chips from different casinos that were different colors.

I don't care about denoms so if I were going to consider buying Pualson JB's or something (at $1.25+ each), I'd just get $1 chips of various colors from different casinos. At $1 each, their cheaper than the home Paulsons, (many are Paulsons), and they have more character.

Anybody ever done this?
