Cash Game 500 Chips with .05c/.25c/1$/5$/20$ Denom's (1 Viewer)

Family campfire game with 5$ buy in and bragging rights. 6-8max players.
500Chips
160/.05c
160/.25c
100/1$
60/5$
20/20$
Chip stack looks like:
15/.05c
13/.25c
1/1$
Before the onslaught of “What the heck are you thinking“ comments splash the boards, know that I plan to pick up another 700 chips when my budget allows. Never enough chips!
For the sake of this post, I am interested in the starting stack break down. Am I missing something important? Should one exchange the .25c chips for .20c chips.
It’s the unlucky 13 count on the .25c that is giving me a cringey vibe.
Thanks

For a $5 buy in cash game (not tournament):

20 x .05
16 x .25

After that people can reload with the remaining quarters and $1s.

Yup, good option. Gonna see what the group says after this plays out

if its .05c/.10c then first raise prob gonna be at least 25c. seems to me like 5c chips pretty much just get used for blinds and limps, 15 each should be plenty, even 10 could do. Id buy more $1 and less 5c

100 x 5c is plenty for 6-8 people even if there’s a lot of limping. Better to bring more 25c / $1 instead as they will be your primary / secondary work horse chips

Starting stack doesn’t really matter, just give out all your 5c first den all your 25c and so on

1 rack max of your lowest fracs. Bulk of chips for your workhorse quarters and dollars. Balance of $5 and $20 to cover your bank.

Keep it simple.
100/200/200 (5c/25c/$1) and use bills after you gave out all chips. Or add $5 if your game gets bigger in future.

Instead of starting stacks hand out the rack of 5cs to one player and give every other one a barrel of 25c. Done.

THIS! Add 100x5$ or even 20-40x25$ and you are good to play .25/.25 with deeper stacks
