The link to this article was justed posted on the Chipboard:

Lead discovered in popular casino chips - ABC15.com: Phoenix, Arizona News, Weather, Radar, Breaking News, Traffic and Web Cams


I know the older chips, like the Large Crown chips had them, but didn't think they were used in new chips. WOW!

Keep these away from your kids. Can never be too safe.

Hasn't this come up before??

As far as I am concerned this is ambulance chasing journalism

BTW - Gotta love this quote...

"If you were to take chips like these and spread them out, 1000 of them on the ground, essentially it would be a federal Superfund site."

are you freaking KIDDING ME????

Could have been discussed somewhere, I'll do a search. I was suprised it was newer chips though.

Nice. I'm getting ceramics.

Wonder if ASM have any lead in them?

Now we know why Paulson chips are so soft and yummy. You have to admit, though, 45% lead in one type of chip, handled repeatedly by people, is just a bit too much, ain't it?

[So 5 pounds of lead is all it takes to make a superfund site? Sounds a bit silly to me.]
