Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 4:53 pm Sorry all! Work got ahead of me today. I think @Spence is the winner, beating out J1M's cash coin by a couple decades. Take it away Spence! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34510 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 8:08 pm Ok super! Here is your next challenge, should you decide to accept it: Here is a 1 Fueng denomination casino token from Thailand that dates to between 1821 and 1875 AD. The characters on the front designate the name of the casino ("benefit" or more broadly "good luck"), while the character on the back is the denomination. For this challenge, post your casino tokens, with points variously awarded for: Casino token (mandatory) Dates to 21st century (1 point) Dates to 20th century (2 points) Dates to 19th century (3 points) Dates to before the 19th century (2 points) Made from porcelain or other ceramic (1 point) Contains the phrase "good luck" (1 point, but no partial credit for only one of those words) Made specifically for the Asian casino market (1 point) Has an image of a bird (1 point) As a slight twist to our normal rules, the item that you post must have been made to be used in a casino specifically in order to get any credit for this contest. In other words, despite the 19th Century date, the image of a bird, and the decent chance it spent time in a slot machine, posting a well-worn Morgan dollar from 1883 gets you nothing. Also, pachinko tokens count, but tokens from Dream Machine and other arcades don't. I'll close the contest on Monday so you should have plenty of time to dig through your collection (or make a quick trip to Vegas). First person with the highest points wins!

jbuck Moderator United States 192314 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 10:11 am Come to think, I probably have some Ike size Vegas tokens somewhere, I just need to find them.

Spence Moderator United States 34510 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 11:06 pm I'm looking forward to you guys dusting off this part of your exonumia collection. In the meanwhile, @dorado sits alone on the leader board with 2 points.

I will post all three in the Casino Tokens and Chips topic, but here is entry... From the 20th century and it even says "Good Luck." Too bad the Flamingo could not have had its namesake bird on the token.
