Zero (n) :thumbsdown:
It depends. 0-1 for chips that are widely available, 2-5 for scarce chips, and 5+ for irreplaceable chips.

Depends on the denom.
Relatively unused denom: two.
Workhorses: five.
That assumes chips that you don't buy by the 25-pack... And is after any chips bought as sample sets, including some keeper sample sets for future gifts.

If I had the opportunity...4 or 5 enough to complete a barrel.
3-5 is ideal for me.
Not a hard number for me -- a minimum of 5% of each denomination -- preferably 10%.
Hard minimum of 20 but I scale up from there. If I have 1k $5s I'm going to have 40 extras.
That hard minimum of 20 prob sounds like a lot but I don't do tournament sets where I'd have a small number of one denom. The smallest number of chips per denom I have is a full rack.

Usually 5 or so. That doesn't always hold for the higher denoms though. For example with the Horseshoe set I'm building I will probably have 20/15/5 of the $1k, $5k, $25k respectively. I will probably go with one apiece.
With my custom CPCs I didn't order a specific quantity of extras, I took whatever I was given - always at least 5 and upwards of 12. I did, however order a rack more of each than I thought I might need on a really busy table.

Zero. There is no such thing as a spare chip.

5 for casino used, 10 for customs.

Flush
about 5 pieces.
number 99 is driving me crazy, but for the game it does not matter.

optimally 10%

5-10, although for workhorse chips 20. If particularly rare, at least 5-10.

Royal Flush
The extras that CPC throws in... that many.
Beyond that, most of my base sets are made in such a fashion that I could never realistically use every single chip, so extras are already built into the set sizing.

Straight Flush
Surprised no one has answered a rack yet.
Larry did, but you have to do the math yourself. 10% of 1k is a full rack!
Mr Tree
Straight Flush
0...
Yeah but then if you lost one, you would have 99. So then you would need spares for your spares.
