Wanted Monopoly/Board Game Chips (1 Viewer)

[gkitt80]

Was playing Monopoly last night with the family, and decided that I would finally start looking at getting chips to replace the paper currency. Thought I would throw out a wanted ad to see what I could shake loose. Ideally would be something that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, and that could be flexible enough to use in multiple board games. Anyone have anything that could fit the mold?

I remember a cool little hotstamped denominated set that sold last year (by @kaimat) that would have been perfect for some board games.
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/300-hotstamped-md-50-diasqr-chips-100-shipping.30917/

That set didn't have $500 denoms, which I think are the highest denom in Monopoly, but it had $100 & $200 denoms.

I found this in a forum about Monopoly: "Prior to 2008, the standard game came with $15,140. Since then (which is when the game had a graphical refresh), the MONOPOLY bank has been comprised of $20,580." The set that sold last year had a total bank of $12,050. (If the $200s were used as $500s, there's be a bank of $19,550.)

See if these are still available:

If you kind find some more $100s and $500s, the AC Boardwalks rock for monopoly and fit the theme. We use either these or PNYs.

I might look into Royal blanks:

I'm a fan of classic monopoly money colors. I'd go with:
$1 white
$5 red
$10 light blue (bottom right with 8 lime inserts) would need 3 shades of yellow/gold/orange to really match.
$20 green
$50 dark blue (top right, knockoff of horseshoe 25000 chip)
$100 yellow
$500 orange

Could also go with custom denomination Tiki Kings:

$1 white
$5 red
$10 yellow/gold
$20 green
$50 blue
$100 black
$500 purple

Edit: can save money requiring only custom $10-$20-$50 chips. The $1-$5-$100-$500 are standard colors and denominations. Damn, now "I" want to do this ;-)

Looking at modern monopoly colors, the Tikis fit best (slight deviation from casino colors):
$1 white
$5 red
$10 blue
$20 green
$50 purple
$100 black
$500 gold (most important monopoly color, IMHO)

I have some diamond mold Cali colored solids that I was going to mill and label for Monopoly. PM if you want to see some pics

I’ve lost track... are these still available? I didn’t see them on Apache’s site.

Awesome, thanks for this. So I just need 30 PCA secondary $500s, and I can just use my PCA set! HA

Appreciate the input so far everyone.

What other games use currency other than Monopoly where chips could be useful? I am drawing a blank at this point.

 

[Denali]

LIFE board game uses currency if I remember, but the denoms were super high - I think?

So I bought the board game today, and decided to make a mock-up based on the color scheme of the money from this game, and use an inexpensive chip at .15/per. I’m hoping I can get it all made for around $100 or so!

That’s a good idea or customize the Valentino’s, they would fit the monopoly tg new better. Not sure if you can change the name on these and have it include a monopoly reference
