It's nothing more than a security feature for a casino. Non-value chips/checks do not have to be backed up by money and don't represent a monetary liability against the corporation.
Otherwise they can have the same design features as value chips, if wanted.
NCV chips are usually given to players as promotion by the casino or for use in tournaments & can't gerenally be purchased as easily as cash chips. So from a collectability standpoint, they are harder to obtain & there are less of them in circulation outside of the casino.
Oh come on... You know that if they didn't write NVC or "Tournament Only" on them, some drunk degenerates would try to cash then in and then make a scene.

Also getting caught pocketing tournament chips, usually results in a ban. Not sure if its from the casino, the poker room or just future tournaments, but it is risky if you like to play there.
