This is a notched sample of the 1st issue, 1996 $1,000 chip. It was pulled from use within the first 2 months of operation because the similar coloring (green) of $25 chips was causing issues at cashier's cage. Indications are that there are no known examples of the original version. According to Executive Management at The Orleans, all were destroyed. While "all" cannot be validated, it is known that some did go through a destruction process (pulverization) as small pieces have been recovered from a destruction services company.
