June 20, 2005 -- Almost all metal core chips are manufactured in either Taiwan or China. Chips from China are, on the whole, of a lesser quality, probably owing to the lack of quality
control including less precision in composite mixing, and imperfect dyes used in manufacturing. Chips manufactured in Taiwan are usually of a higher overall quality that becomes quite
evident in the general appearance and feel.
www.E-PokerChips.com explains that clay and composite chips are available in a single solid color (most often with a pattern imprinted), two colors, and three colors. They also come in a
variety of design styles, including these three which are fairly standard: Suited (the four card suits are imprinted around the chip), Diamond (a series of diamonds is imprinted around
the chip), and Dice (each side of a die is imprinted around the chip).
Other designs are available, and some chip manufacturers offer exclusive designs. Custom designed chips can be expensive. Lighter chips will be less expensive (300 9-gram composite chips
can sell for as low as $40), while heavier chips cost more (300 13.5-gram chips sell for $110 and up).
