Hey everyone, I've been looking for Chits and Shards smaller than what I can find on TGF. Every other site I've come across is in the 1.25"+ range. Hopefully the price would also be sized down a bit as well but it's not a requirement. If you've come across any sites I would really appreciate a few links.
Thanks! Vineyard

Games like Ascension use fish tank crystals and they come in various sizes and colors. I found a site that sells it here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Acrylic-Crystal-Aquarium-Fish-Ta...
Here's another place that sells those in bulk.
GMT games sells sheets of half inch counters at game conventions. Don't know if they sell them online.
PrintPlayGames.com and SuperiorPOD.com both have chits that are 0.625" across. Superior POD has circle, hex or square shapes, while Print & Play Games only has square chits at that size.
Their pricing is similar, though SuperiorPOD is likely to be less expensive if you need a large number of chits or if you need other items (like cards or a board) printed. And I don't know what the differences are in their shipping rates.
Note 1: Both of them charge extra to print on both sides of the chits.
Note 2: Print & Play Games also has a very inexpensive option of 0.625" square chits made from playing card stock instead of chipboard ($1.75 for 66 chits in quantity 1). Chipboard is obviously nicer, but if you're looking for inexpensive this may be an option.
I drew up a file for laser cutting at Ponoko. It's 1,134 12mm hexes on a sheet of 3mm acrylic for $56.43. That works out to $.05 per token. That's on one of the larger Ponoko templates. They have many colors of acrylic, wood, felt, and cardboard available.
I can make a template for any tesselated shape on request and make it available on Ponoko for all.

I've just emailed their customer service to find out. I couldn't find anything on their site myself.
