Will someone explain to me what a milled poker chip is?

 

[BGinGA]

Milling a poker chip is using a tool to remove a layer of material from the center area of the chip, typically so that there is ample depth to adhere a laminated label.

Milling is a cutting process that uses a milling cutter to remove material from the surface of a workpiece.

This question made me affectionately smile. Is "Milled Chip" a "thing" now? I've been out of the chip rounds for a couple years now but I milled maybe five racks after reading Gear's initial thread on the topic at the other place, using drill press with router bit. Credit to him for a great idea that (I suppose) has since gotten more popular since.
