Do I have a problem? (1 Viewer)

[Tony_M]

So, I've been putting together my first cash set and suddenly realized last night I might have a problem. Here's my lineup so far:

My plan is to make the IG snappers 5¢ and the Paris 25¢. However, the snappers and $25s will present a possible dirty stack issue. Granted, I don't forsee my nickel/dime game to have $25 on the table so maybe I'm overthinking. If you all think this is going to be a problem, what would you change? Here's how they look mixed in:

Edited to fix brain fart.

I doubt you'd have tons of 5c and $25 in the same game. That said, never say never.

Your Paris should be a 25c. It doesn't make sense to go 5c->50c->$1.

A black $20 chip could be a possibility, and perhaps a little more appropriate for the stakes

First: you don’t need the .50c much better 5c-25c-$1
Second: don’t mix THC ( Paris) with RHC ( IMO!!)
Third: yes you have a dirty stack for sure

My bad ... yes, they are going to be quarters! Stupid brain fart

Well, I already have some black hundreds which I didn't include here. Also, my games will usually be either 0.50/1 or 1/2. But I'll occasionally do micro-stakes for friends and neighbors who don't want to gamble much.

I did a relabel for my fracs and also used HSI $1b as my $1 for my HSC set, it might be more advisable to go all RHC Mold instead if u are doing a relabeling set

While I generally agree that mixing THC and RHC is a faux pas, I think HSI chips get a pass.
The $1 was supposed to be a THC like the Horseshoe Baltimore:

But, for whatever reason, they used the RHC mold with the small inlay on the HSI fracs and $1s.

So with the small inlay, it looks ok to have the 5c, 25c and $1…while the upper denoms have a larger inlay. The Paris $1 makes a badass HSI frac:
