History of AA Chips:

Recovery groups use AA chips and medallions throughout the United States to commemorate recovery milestones. The tokens mark the various lengths of a person's abstinence from alcohol. These special tokens are the approximate size of a poker chip. In the past, many groups used actual poker chips. While the history is unclear, it seems they came into use in the US in 1942. Doherty S. led a program in Indianapolis and gave out tokens and chips to support members along their path to sobriety. Many Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step recovery groups offer medallions to celebrate members' achievements. Traditionally, bronze AA coins commemorate one year of sobriety. Though, you can order the bronze chips to commemorate any milestone in recovery. 

You can choose between increments of hours to months or one to 65 years. Both Wendells and BSP deliver craftsmanship and quality at an affordable price.

Each token coin features a version of the Triangle and Circle symbol. The triangle signifies the three legacies of recovery, which are recovery, unity, and service. Because the triangle is equilateral, it represents the equality of each legacy as well as strength. The circle surrounding the triangle represents the AA organization as a whole. While AA stopped using the logo for their organization in 1994, it remains a symbol associated with Alcoholics Anonymous other recovery programs around the world. The famous Serenity Prayer is engraved on the other side of the coin. On Wendells' Founders coin, images of AA founders Bill Wilson (known as Bill W.) and Dr. Robert Smith (Dr. Bob) are on either side of the Triangle and Circle. The commemorative year appears inside the triangle, On the other side of the Founders coin is the well-known quote from the AA founders, "Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path."
