No biggie... use the denoms as cents, obviously. With the .25s only being used for small blinds, you probably only need 100 of them on the table. Of course, that's kind of an odd number for the buy-in, so you'll probably have like 8 each or 12 each, to get to an even dollar. 1.00s and 5.00s will be your workhorses in that game, so you'll want as many of those on the table as possible.
Figure your initial buy-ins should be almost all 1.00s. 10 guys, each buying in for $40-50. $500 on the table initially, with $30 of that in the .25s... another $300 in 1.00s would be good, but $200 would work. The rest in $5s.... so, that's only like 50x5.00s...
A long session... figure one re-buy for each guy, on average, and there's another $500 to make up in chips. If that's all in 5.00s, that's another 100 of those.
So what's the totals here?
200-300x$0.25 (25)
200-300x$1.00 (100)
150-200x$5.00 (500)
That's a little more than you had figured in buying, so you could go on the low-end with all those. Add in another 50x(1000) chips for color-ups in tourneys.
200x(25)
200x(100)
150x(500)
50x(1000)
That's 600 chips, for $1500 in chip denoms, which is more than enough for a .50/1.00 game. You've got enough (25s) to cover a .25/.50 game, and you've probably got enough (100s) to cover a 1/2 game as well.
Tourney stacks with only 200 chips of the lowest denom would be pretty light... figure starting a tourney at 25/50 blinds, you'll need starting stacks of at least T2500. Even with only 10 people you'll still only get 20x(25) and 20x(100). 40 chips isn't bad, but if you like the feel and look of having deep stacks, you'll probably need another 200x(25) chips.
If it was me, I'd probably end up buying 1500 chips anyway... just because I'm like that.
You'd probably know best about how many rebuys in general you'd expect but if you're using a set for both tournaments and cash games, you'd have other denoms you could use for a higher value in cash games, so running out shouldn't be an issue.
