Gaming chips 30 have an IC tag 34 which is embedded therein, and a special bar code 101 invisible to the naked eye, which is printed thereon. A server calculates the number of gaming chips 30 based on individual information of the IC tag 34 that was read out by a reader 38, based on individual information of the special bar codes 101 read out by a bar code scanner 102, based on weight data acquired at a weighing device 40 and based on image data processed in a camera 103. Further, the server checks a partial number or the total number of gaming chips 30 thus calculated, and outputs the check results from a display or speaker.
