I came across this cool poker set today which combines two of my great interests. Poker and Precious Metals....well and Pirating too if you want to count that as a third. When I first saw it I thought it would have a massive price tag on it, but not surprisingly it's not real gold and silver in the poker set even though they advertise it as containing "Real Metal Coins". Still, it looks pretty cool...
I sometimes try to work Precious Metals into my conversations at the poker table and always have my Round 50 Cent pocket piece handy as a kind of "Calling Card". Last week I met my match when I came across an opponent using a 9999 Silver Kookaburra as a card protector at the poker table. There was a nod and a few unspoken words exchanged as we both realized we had met a fellow traveler and there was immediate mutual respect established. It was good to find a brother out in the wild...
It looks like a 300 Piece Pirate Gold Poker set contains Gold, Silver, Copper and a black metal coin too. Retailing for $279 Australian Dollars and shipping out of Melbourne Australia. If you want to pick one up you can order one at PirateGoldPoker.com
