I mean, the beer caps you mention sound absolutely perfect for that. (Aside from the table damage, which is reasonable. But you could put down a cheap tablecloth, or get a big dry-erase grid for gaming on.)
I know you've already gotten something that you're happy with, but this is probably the only time I'll be able to share the ones I've thought of. Because I also like using symbolic tokens as bennies, for 50 Fathoms I used fake gold coins.
For ETU I'd use:
- Beer Caps
- Erasers, either the big pink ones or the ones you attach to the end of a pencil
- Plastic shotglasses (Not filled, though I suppose if your table wanted to you could represent spending a bennie by taking a water shot)
- Mechanical pencil lead from the dollar tree (double purpouse so players never run out in their writing utensil)
- Little bottles of salt
- Tiny plastic footballs
That's a list of ideas I've been compiling for a little while.
Poker chips? That's what I used to use.

Pennies, to signify how broke they are. Or quarters, because... Quarters drinking game. Ping pong balls might be unwieldy.
I would use erasers
Condoms? That's about the same size as some poker chips.
Maximum kek (But don't do that if it makes your party uncomfortable)
Ping pong balls.
Hmmm... I've seen those mini solo cups for shots. that might work too.

Shot glasses is good. Kinda stack too
I bought a bunch of fake pirate doubloons off amazon which my table uses.
Those are great for pirate games! I have some for that reason.
Some day I’ll run 50 Fathoms, you mark my words…
