      There's a style of vintage poker chips called Paranoid Chips. "Paranoid" was a name for an early 20th century plastic; it was similar to celluloid, thus "para" meaning "similar". The chips were manufactured in a number of designs, as you can see here.pic.twitter.com/cuh1CZgyMl

      Note that these designs had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with Islam, Judaism, or Nazis - at least, not intentionally. To the chip manufacturers, they were just yet another interesting symbol that had been around for thousands of years with various historical usages. They looked neat.

      In particular, the swastika chips were manufactured in the US long before the Nazi party was widely known in the US, or in fact even before it existed.

      These chips are not particularly rare; they come up for sale frequently on ebay. They usually have a giant disclaimer in the auction title along the lines of "NOT A NAZI POKER CHIP" "I HAVE A LETTER FROM EBAY THAT SAYS THEY'RE OKAY"

      Apparently, though, despite being readily available on ebay, they also pop up from time to time in other places where people /are/ pushing them as "Nazi memorabilia", probably being sold by the ignorant to the ignorant. the things you learn crazy stuff man crazy stuff
