Denominations for Home Game set?

Should I go with denominations, denominations without dollar/cent symbols, or no denominations for a 5c, 25c, and $1 cash set?

If it's an option i might go for denoms on the .25 and $1 but not on the .05. If you move up in stakes you'll have no use for nickels but the other two will still be useful up to .50/1 NL, and you can make your nickels into $5 then. Or just go no $ sign and it would work the same.

$ signs and cent signs is my personal feeling....then again, now that I'm in London, maybe the £ sign would be good too.

If you dont have a tiurnament set you can make them 5, 25, 100 without a $ sign, in a cash game you may use them as 5c 25c 100c and then they are also nice tournament chips. If you already own a tournament set, forget the idea.

BigMike´s idea is quite good IMO...taking the 5c as a non-denominated you will be prepared for games with higher stakes also.

You could solve the problem by going non-denominated.

I actually think these would look really great that way.

If you're set on having denoms on the inlay, my vote is for no currency sign.

personal preference.

The purist in me says, go with denoms and country appropriate currency symbols; just like the casinos. The practical side says, non-denoms are such more more functional; then again paying $1/chip is probably not practical.

My original cash set had 4 denominated chips and then a non-denom which was designed play as a SB chip (.10/.25/.50).

good luck

Since this is a cash set definately the $´sign.

My personal preference is the dollar signs and cents.

Denoms all the way. Unless your goal is to save money by re-using them for tournaments, too. But if saving money is your goal, there are much more-effective ways to save money when buying chips...

Well since I have a tourney set and a .25/.50 cash set, I'm decided on denoms with symbols.

Unfortunately they're pulling the Roman mold again due to quality issues so I may be waiting for a while...
