Before 1987, there was not a required way for casinos in Nevada to destroy their old & discontinued poker chips & slot tokens. These gaming establishments came up with creative ways to make sure not a single person would be able to get ahold of their "dead chips & tokens." a way to dispose of their old poker chips & slot tokens was to hide them in the concrete mix of the foundations of hotel expansions & properties that were newly built on the Las Vegas strip.

Pictured in this listing, is an authentic & rare slab of concrete from the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. This artifact was discovered on accident in the rubble when the Frontier was imploded in 2007. Due to regulation 12, a law passed in 1987 in Nevada, casinos were no longer able to discard their old in house currency.

This particular slab contains at least a couple hundred $1 tokens in the slab and measures approximately 24" x 18.5" it is heavy and weighs in the upwards of 60-75lbs. The tokens in this slab are from 1967 and are covered almost completely on one side and a bunch on the other side. These slabs are extremely rare to find & are found in only the hotels built pre-1987, which most on the strip have already been demolished. The chances of finding another one of these are slim to none. This concrete slab is absolutely museum-worthy and its history speaks for itself.
