Me, I use an Eisenhower Dollar - no explaination needed....

I have, however, occasonally used a dollar gaming chip from a certain establishment in Las Vegas

I did use an ASA umpire coin that was given to me by a friend during my first tournament. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced it somewhere. I think I need to break out my 1923 Peace Dollar.

I have a few coins I use - an older ASA coin, a silver dollar, a ISC Fastball coin.. I rotate em and whatever I feel like I use. I have a bunch of others (including one from BuggBob!) that I keep in a little minicollection.

Whatever coin I have in my pocket. Or, whatever my partner has.

I go with the latter... I usually end up with a extra $2+ at the end of the tournament... if i work it right.
