An article about poker coins and legality:
Poker coins, also known as tokens or chips, are small pieces of metal or plastic used in various card games to represent money. While their legality is a topic of debate, most experts agree that poker coins are not legal tender and do not constitute legal currency.
One argument in favor of poker coins being considered legal currency is that they are commonly accepted as payment in many poker tournaments and cash games. However, this does not make them legal tender.
In fact, many states have lAWS prohibiting the acceptance of any form of payment other than cash or checks.
Another argument against poker coins being considered legal currency is that they are not backed by anything tangible. Since there is no government or financial institution backing them, they could theoretically become worthless at any time.
This could make them vulnerable to criminal activity, including theft and fraud.
