Clay Poker Chips
Clay poker chips are the poker chips that are deemed as token money in the casino and poker sites. However, all clay poker chips are not made only of clay. The clay poker chips are no longer in use, and have become museum items. The primary reason for the disappearance of the clay poker chips is their brittle nature. The clay poker chips were much in vogue in the 1800s. The clay poker chips were composed of synthetic materials mixed with clay to make them a bit durable.
The rather expensive nature of producing such clay poker chips was slowly but surely replaced by the modern-day poker chips made from composite clay, plastic and acrylic substances. In the 1930s, the casinos started putting an additional foil of metal to make clay poker chips durable. After a decade, especially printed clay poker chips were introduced in the casinos.
Nowadays, the casino and poker sites bring out designer and customized clay poker chips. Many of the casino and poker sites even keep top secret the ratio of the mixed substances to prevent the counterfeiters at bay. Many of the casino and poker sites even have copyright over their clay poker chips.
