As a professional poker player, using weirdo denominations for cash games is not something anyone ever wants.
The denominations are $1, $5, $25, $100, or $5, $25, $100, $500, or $5, $25, $100, $1000.
In Vegas, the $5s are almost always red, the $25s are almost always green, and the $100s are almost always black.
Even the $10 chips in use for the 5/10 games at the Wynn and Resorts World throw off a lot of players.
Casinos frequently have $2 chips simply because it makes dropping the rake take less volume and allows them to change the boxes less frequently. You don’t need them in a home game.
This might be an interesting math problem, but let’s not pretend that it has any applications in actual poker games.
