A small conundrum.
I'm getting a train to QPR on Saturday with some chums. We fancy a bit of a poker tournie on the journey there and back, and so intend commandeering a table for this purpose. None of us want to use loads of CHANGE to play with though, and I can't be arsed to hump a bag of poker chips around west London all day, only for some meat-head steward to confiscate them before I get through the turnstile. So we need a vaible alternative to poker chips, and I think SWEETS are the best option. But which ones ?

Fruit pastilles are out, as they'll go all furry and sticky
Maltesers are out, as obviously they'll roll all over the place
Wine gums are out, because I won't be able to resist eating them
Anything chocolate-coated is clearly going to have messy melting issues

The current favourites for the task are either Trebor Extra Strong mints (good for stacking), or maybe the fruit-flavoured Polo's (as everyone can have their own colour). But I'm open to suggestions. Over to the wise sages of NSC.

Surely a packed of Haribo jelly mix would be perfect for the occasion.
They'd get sticky very quickly though...
Bear in mind, I'm going to bag them up (in sandwich bags) between games, so I don't want to have to pick a big soft sticky BALL to bits for my chips on the journey home.

Chocolate coins?
Good shout. Can't think where I'd get them from though, they're not usually in the newsagents.

do your chums know about this plan? sounds horrendously open to abuse if the confectionery is going to be assigned real monetary value...

They do.
Notes will be made at the end of each session as to who has how much. I'm tighter than a camels arse in a sandstorm, no-ones conning ME out of anything I can assure you.

Naah bollocks to that. Pen and paper just doesn't work for poker, not when you're checking/betting/raising and all that bollocks.
I'll be PISSED by Haywards Heath remember.
