You can also introduce new games, use them as antes, and make silly bets between hands.

Really this is only a point of concern if you think people will harvest your chips. Then I get that it might suck if you lose a few 5 cent chips that cost you a buck.
Otherwise, I think one of the great things about customs is you can design them to your own liking and use the denominations that fit your game. Get the nickels.
And yes, I do understand there are some players that enjoy the flexibility of a non-denominated chip, personally I think denominations are integral to the design of custom chips and should always be included in whatever denominations suit your game.
I've always ran a .5/.10 game with sometimes scrapping the nickel for .25/.25. I've been a fan of the .5 but now I have changed up my thinking. My next custom set will have a rack of NVC instead of the .5. That way if we start playing .25/.25 with a $50 max buy in, we can use the NVC for $25.
I've notice the play is a little better at .25/.25. Maybe cuz the pots are a little bigger pre idk. Seems like less limping.

Not my chips, but love these Artichoke Joe’s 5¢. If you play 5¢/10¢, you need em. Literally the best in this chip lineup and I love when we get to bring them out.

I’m considering getting some .05 chips but also thinking of getting some blanks so I can use them for any fractional denominations.

Played a $.10/$.20 game last Friday night, $40 buy in and had a couple pots that hit about $300... I think @Tonystark137 snapped a pic of one of those hands but...
Think we wound up with about $1,100 in play. Talk about price per frac
Plus
Equals more than 2 of the sets in the up coming Harrahs Tourney chip sets!
Believe it or not, just a few years ago those nickles were only $350 per rack! A chip I would have easily paid $10 each for, and NO mine are not avaliable at $1,000 per rack! Lol
Funny thing is that they are one of my favorite chips ever and have never played them! I prefer $.10/$.20 because $.05/$.10 plays too small, I play too loose and loose more money!
It is absolutely Ludacris to come on a chipping forum and complain about the cost per chip... especially with soo many low level costs in today's market. Old school original casino micro fracs are absolutely going to cost you a fortune! But Tina's, Br Pro and other entry to mid levels semi customs for a buck a chip or less... of course! Get the real thing!!
I get how many people like chips with an "X" so they can represent whatever... but personally again at those prices I 100% say get the denom they are meant to be! Buy the other denoms too! It's only money!
As in many other micro frac threads... here are a few more photos
Tina no mold down to the nickle! Right around $.40 per chip!
BR Pro ceramics down to the penny! Right around $1 per chip a few years ago.
A two table set up of BCC Fan of Cards... clay but resonable. Average of $1.50 to $2 per chip... again I prefer $.10/$.20 so also have that set up
Not saying you can't use a non denom
Just prefer the real thing!
Even if building an old school awesoness set, sometimes relabelong is the only option... I don't have labels yet but these blues will be dimes @ about $5 per chip
But when the set cost $10 - $15k who's counting... like @Machine said. They always make more money, delicous chips are much harder to find! Lol
@batterytime did you ever figure out your nickles?

Agreed! One of my favorite chips of all time!

Can confirm we had a lot of fracs in play.
Also had a $100 chip in play at the same time... @ConsensualPresidency

Hi All, there's some really nice 5 cent chips in here. Good stuff. I too have been toying with the idea of a low stakes cash game set and wondered whether I should just stick with .25¢ or go as low as 5¢.

If you ever want to do $5 or $10 no limit, yes. My set was designed for both .05/.10 and .10/.25. TBH, my group never plays .05/.10, and I could have skipped the .05s and done .25/.25. Still, I wanted them just in case. If you do decide to get them, don't get more than a rack.

Our game used nickels for over a decade. Get at least two racks. Unless you only plan to play nlhe. That's so boring, low stakes mixed games!
