One coin has Bill Cosby at Harvey's in Lake Tahoe. The other is from the Mirage in Las Vegas.Kinda ran out of true silver dollars, inthe late 1960's.....

The tokens are then turned in at the Change desk, for paper money. When you count all the casinos in the US, it would be very hard to get enough silver coins to accomodate all casinos.I have played slots at Quad Cities, on the Mississippi river, on the Iowa/Illinois line, and they use the aluminum/nickel tokens there.
