It would change the game balance and lose a bit of the depth.
See 1:35:
I watched the video, but still don’t see the need for a denom for every value between 10-90K.
On the table in the video are various “bets” of 30, 60, 80, and 90K. Using 1(0,000) and 5(0,000) chips, all possible values would use:
10,000 - 1 $1
20,000 - 2 $1
30,000 - 3 $1
40,000 - 4 $1
50,000 - 1 $5
60,000 - 1 $5 + 1 $1
70,000 - 1 $5 + 2 $1
80,000 - 1 $5 + 3 $1
90,000 - 1 $5 + 4 $1
So no bet would require more than 5 chips using two denoms. 2-3 chips would be more common. These are stackable so they will take up little room.
If you had a $2(0K) chip, no bet size would require more than 3 chips:
10,000 - 1 $1
20,000 - 1 $2
30,000 - 1 $2 + 1 $1
40,000 - 2 $2
50,000 - 1 $5
60,000 - 1 $5 + 1 $1
70,000 - 1 $5 + 1 $2
80,000 - 1 $5 + 1 $2 + 1 $1
90,000 - 1 $5 + 2 $2
Oddly, the video sometimes uses two plaques for a bet size even though the set apparently includes plaques with exact values for every bet size. So doubling up plaques (or chips) apparently is done.
Just a thought. If the goal is to mimic the game as much as possible, I agree with the suggestion of plaques, but again might limit the denoms to 2/3 types.
