The plastic kind 
I believe that's a worthless plastic chip; mass market produced. Serial number is constant on the chips.

BUT IT HAS A SERIAL NUMBER!

It's official money. But I have no idea where to cash it in. Like cryptocurrency.
And it matches every other chip like it, that’s how you know it’s good!
See this is why I had to get my serious answer in first before all the snarky comments came out

Those are legal tender in Nigerian Casinos. They are issued by members of their royalty and are backed by people all over the world. There is some dispute - the money backing these chips has to be on hand at all times. But recently they have had currency distribution problems due to covid and the Crown Prince is making his reserved share of these available for 10% of face just to raise US dollars for their treasury.

Worth noting in particular that this chip is a solid-colored plastic chip that's been printed on with silk screening. The chip was fabricated out of a single color of plastic using a one-part mold, as opposed to, for example, dice chips, which use two colors of plastic and a two-part mold (one for the body and one for the stripes). The edge spots and denomination and text on this chip were printed with a single color of ink directly onto the chip, rather than one of the more common (and more expensive) options such as hotstamping with foil or using a full-color printed adhesive sticker.
In other words, this is the absolute cheapest chip that can be made that still has any sort of design or decoration on it.
Also noteworthy: I presume the edge spots are only printed on the face of the chip, with the rolling edge being plain solid black, so that no edge spots are visible when looking at a stack of chips from the side.
I'm somewhat curious how much this weighs and whether it has a metal slug inside or not. The slug would create additional weight, which would make it more attractive to most people, but of course it would also increase the cost.

Might make it worth recycling if it has some brass in it

I can tell its fake because the side paint isn't uniform
Look at this quality! It's a steal at only $300!

Yup; I threw up a little in my mouth when I did the same search. Very sad how these ads are a scam. Claiming the chip is "rare". I mean, you can spend whatever you want for a POS plastic mass market chip - that's the buyer's prerogative. But when it's billed as rare and official, it's misleading and just a scam.

Shit like this makes me angry
Scammers going after money from old people during that brief time between when they lose their judgment and their families intervene to protect them

A chunk of them probably saw the other ads and just copied them, having no actual idea if it’s bogus or not. The rest though that will tell you “yes you can cash it in” are 100% just scamming.

That's why I was confused. When I found mine at my grandparents estate sale and looked it up I saw the 300 one on eBay and thought no way its worth 300 but I'd thought I'd ask . Thank you all for your help

Was it in the couch? That’s where the last ones of these that showed up here were found, in the couch at their grandfathers estate. You must have a bunch of cousins
