At least?

I dream that one day soon, a day will come where I am not seduced by the PCF marketplace.

Today is not that day. These are just awesome.

 

[DrunkleWade]

How do y'all feel about not using a comma until there are at least two digits to the left of it?

That makes sense to me

I’ve made sets both with and without the comma on high denoms, but typically leave off because high denom chips can get pretty cramped already in most inlay layouts and I don’t need another reason to shrink the text even smaller. But some layouts and font styles it works so I’ve used as it does help with legibility of those denoms some.

Don’t have any issue personally with only using on the XX,000+ chips though and not using in X000. Outside of legibility - having no comma IMO still looks better/cleaner, so for smaller denoms (e.g. 1000/5000) I’d leave off just because the comma is unnecessary and subtracting value vs adding.

Let’s hope more make it out!

What about 1M and 5M? two commas?

Of course

 

[at_the_third_place]

I wanted to make a sticker, and so now I have a few dozen weird Kings of Spades. This is more than I’ll ever have a use for; expect an appearance in Giveaways before too long.

Mandatory IMO above 100k, nice to have at or below.

I see you have an extra 500K, 1M & 5M, sir.

If you look carefully at these high denoms, it seems that the font spacing is adjusted such that sometimes adding the comma affects/widens spacing between numbers, and sometimes it doesn't (i.e. it's inconsistent on the WSOP chips).

That's certainly one way to cramp in those commas.

I want to say more often than not tournament poker chips follow the same comma “rules” the WSOP is using

 

[elPadroni]

Got these 48MM Fat Hats to round out my Harrah's WSOP set! I think I have it as dialed in as I will get it.

@T_Chan, you’ve outdone yourself!

How are the shades of teal in your room's lighting? Looks like getting them right with the swatch helped.

5 bricks of Paulson’s to round out the last of my chips in the US.

Cheers @kk405

Thank you @BSteck, @toothpic, and @Blinders for making this happen!

Now I got to work on some buttery solids for the $1s!
