This was all I could think of, when I saw the thread title. Back in my day, the Gold Coast $1 chips were so old:
--varying thickness
--many were slightly bowl-shaped. You could put two of these bowls back-to-back, so to speak, and make the top one spin. "How did you do that?", players would ask, as I was 20 years ahead of the Fidget Spinner craze (but only at the GC).
Thanks to those two factors, you could have a single rack of chips that included stacks of 19, 20, and 21...I may have even got 22 once? Also, didn't they use the old wooden racks? That may have contributed as well.
