what do you use and why do you use that particular one?
I alternate between a Bellagio gaming token, a purple crystal given to me by my daughter and a toy soldier given to me by my son
Boring, but true

I currently use a medal that my late father won for playing table tennis. Previously I have used a rock that I found near Loch Lomond, and a $5 silver token from the Luxor. I did admit to being a superstitious type.........  My hair used to be a bit like this in the 70's. |

Well I have a crappy token from Vegas' centennial celebrations - but I did get a very nice one for Mr Heid for his birthday this year from Tiffany. Its a solid silver Heads and Tails coin, nice and big, and looks very understated.
I am probably the only girlfriend who has brought something for their man from Tiffany first - it was a hint that obs went wrong (I'd settle for the card protector rather than a ring to be honest)

 I got the above off of e-bay. It's the same size as a poker chip & has a bit of weight about it. When I saw it I liked the Glasgow connection & the year's a good one  |

I use a grey Bellagio chip. I don't think it's in use anymore so it may be worth more than $1 now. Might cash in.  |

I use my trusty Hendon Mob card protector that I won in the HM Forum users league.
It's been kinda lucky for me so far.
Prior to that I used an old Philipino 1 Peso coin, big and unusual

As Tight End will testify, I'd be lost without my trusty Sheriff's star! The first one was a £2 effort from a joke shop. After I lost that I found a genuine retired Kansas City badge on eBay which has the words 'Sheriff's Posse' on it. It always attracts a comment or two at the tables so its a good ice-breaker! Photo of badge (including ugly bugger with silly pose in background) available here!Sheriff |

I can confirm that Sheriff's star is very large and shiny.

I can confirm that confirmation by TightEnd is likely to be accurate |
