My play group has never considered using anything other than poker chips as
tokens. The connection between cards and poker chips is obvious, and the
different colored chips lends itself pretty well to the different token
types. We use red and blue for nuyen (5 and 1 respectively); red for
damage; gold, red, and white for rep (10, 5, and 1 respectively); and white
for miscellaneous other tokens.
