There was some discussion a few months back about the CPC Jockey mold and its similarities to the Paulson H&C.

For some time now, the idea of getting a rack of actual casino dimes has been appealing... but at $275 a rack, that's pretty prohibitive.
So here's the idea:
As a group we can brainstorm some generic casino names and vote to determine a winner. Once the winner is picked (or top three), mockups similar to below can be created. The group of committed participants will vote on artwork. The preferred designs will move forward.
Per the CPC website, a solid Jockey mold chip is $1.05 ea. Hotstamping the chip is 14c. The total cost per chip, not including die cost is $119. A typical die is on the order of $75. The die cost will be divided between the number of chips procured using that die and added to the individual cost per chip. Example: if 550 25c chips are procured and the die is $75. Then the die cost per chip is 0.136c. If you ordered 120 of that chip, your cost per chip would be 1.05+.14+.136 = $1.33. Your total cost for the 120x chips is $159.60... not bad. The best part is you didn't have to order 300 chips. For comparison purposes, @chipjoker 's Music Shack hotstamp die cost $85. I envision the dies for this project to be similar.

Regarding denominations, everything is on the table. If you want a rack of one penny chips, and no one else does... that die cost is only divided by your chips... effectively, you cover the entire cost of that die. That's okay. You can still get out the door with a semi custom rack of pennies for ~$200.
Regarding colors... as near as I can tell, the group will need to order at least 100 chips of a given color. They can be hotstamped differently however. If I want 150x chocolate dimes and you want 100 chocolate quarters, that works fine.
Moving Forward:
