Absolute Power Rare Casino Chips


Absolute Power Rare Casino Chips
I was fascinated to stumble across these very unusual novelty Casino chips recently. They were produced to tie-in with the premiere release date of Clint’s 1997 thriller starring Clint, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris and Laure Linney. 
They are produced in the same clay material as regular casino chips and handle in the same way as standard casino chips. What adds to their rarity, is that they are samples, but only in terms of the fact that the reverse has the manufacturer name on them. 
We really have no idea as to how many of these were made – not a great deal I’d imagine, I’ve certainly never seen them come up before. I have to thank my No 2 on this site, Davy Triumph who surprised me with these – dropping through the door this morning made it a genuine thrill, so thank you sir. It’s a good feeling to know we have these unique novelty pieces preserved here. Oddities such as these are always great to feature, especially when relating to Absolute Power, a film that is often sadly overlooked.
