When buying poker chips without denominations, we get asked what colors are for what value. Technically speaking, any color can stand for any value, as long as it is defined ahead of time and everybody playing knows what color is what value. The advantage to chips without denominations is that the value can be changed to anything so it is versatile for all different types of games where lower or higher values might be necessary.

We looked through all the chips we carry with denominations on Discount Poker Shop and these are the colors we found:

Total number of physical poker chips to start with: 21 X 20 = 420 poker chipsAt some point during the tournament the “25” chips will be useless since the blinds will be in even “100’s”. At that point you can “color up” the “25” chips. So, you will need more “100” and possibly more “500” chips. Poker chips are available in different colors, with each color being equivalent to a certain amount of money. At one-time, instead of poker chips, games were played with gold nuggets, coins,.

• $0.25 – Brown
• $0.50 – Gray
• $1 – Gray, White
• $5 – Red
• $10 – Light Blue
• $25 – Green
• $50 – Blue
• $100 – Black
• $500 – Purple
• $1000 – Yellow
• $5000 – Pink
• $10000 – Orange

Another thing to note about poker chips with denominations is that some designs we carry do not have a dollar sign. These poker chips are very versatile because they can be used for different currencies and values. For instance, you could use it for Euros instead of Dollars, or use the 100 chip to mean 100 pennies, the possibilities are many.

In summary, any color can be used for any value on poker chips without denominations but if you would like a guideline on what colors to use for what values, use the list above. Poker chip colors seem to be pretty consistent across different brands and designs so following the same colors as denominated poker chips may help keep everyone from getting confused.

An introduction to AA Tokens

Marking the anonymous membership of so many people around the world is a humble coin. The AA Token, unassuming to most, is a most significant keepsake for the recipient. Beginning one’s sober journey in the fellowship of Alcoholics is anonymous with a silver colored aluminum 24 Hour Token is a tremendous way to mark the first day of this one day at a time way of life. The twenty-four hour token is often carried for a lifetime, standing as a silent reminder of our AA way of life.

Poker Chip Colors Meanings

The chip system is thought to have begun in Indianapolis in 1942. The tradition is believed to have started with Doherty S., who originally brought A.A. to Indianapolis. Doherty himself, in a letter to Bill, seems to indicate the practice originated in Indianapolis in 1942.

Nell Wing wrote in 1962 about the history of the chip system: “…The chip system might have begun in Indianapolis….reference was made in a letter from Doherty to the start of giving out ‘chips’ and ‘tokens.’ This was in 1942. I imagine this would be about right, because most of the early groups started in 1940 and it would take about a couple of years to think of anniversaries and marking any time of sobriety. I asked Bill about this and his memory is that the system started in Indianapolis.”

Following the 24 Hour Token is typically a series of Anodized Aluminum Tokens marking monthly milestones in Recovery. These would typically follow this pattern:

• 1 Month, marked by a red anodized aluminum chip. This may also be a red plastic poker chip
• 2 Month, designated by a gold anodized aluminum medallion
• 3 Month, marked by an emerald green anodized coin
• 6 Month, often a dark blue aluminum token or a blue plastic poker chip
• 9 Month, marked by a purple aluminum chip this is usually the last aluminum token

Once a member of AA reaches the 1 Year mark of continuous sobriety, anniversary celebrations are often marked with Bronze Yearly AA Tokens. These medallions are often called “heavy metal” because of the weight of the token and the significance of having reached the yearly birthday in Alcoholics Anonymous. The yearly bronze tokens are often presented by a sponsor along with a cake and a few words about the recipient. Sometimes used to mark very significant sobriety anniversaries are the Brilliant Triplate Medallion. The Triplate AA Token is the most fancy and costly medallion.
