Those discussions focus on limit games. (And I’ve never believed it - it’s all conjecture and maybe anecdotal evidence. I try not to argue, because it seems to be the majority opinion, and I certainly don’t have any evidence on my side either) But i really don’t think many people believe the number of fracs in the pot of a No Limit game would influence the play in any way. All that said, I support quarters over half dollars for flexibility sake. If somebody’s in love with .50/.50 or .50/1, fine for with them. But I’d suggest that with many crowds, both those games would play similarly to $1/1.
Anyway, back to the original question:
It looks like you’ve backed off the IOC $5, which is good. I’m trying not to impose my tastes on people, but when it comes to mixing white inlays with dark inlays, I can’t resist. Mix molds if you want - non chippers won’t even notice. But with those Aria $1s, use other denoms with black or dark inlays. Mixing white inlays and black inlays is just disruptive. It probably could cause seizures.
