Can you still play and finish dominoes with a missing double 4s tile ?
Since the OP has already got the set of dominoes from a charity shop, does he care about a replacement domino standing out like a sore thumb? It would make a very simple woodworking project - a small rectangular piece of wood, black paint, a carefully-positioned drill to make the shallow drill holes for the spots and some white paint.
Yes, because dominoes is based on players picking random dominoes without knowing what they are. Each player only knows what dominoes he holds as only he can see the marked side.
With a replacement 4/4 domino, everyone would know which one it was in the pile and would also know if someone picked it up and that would affect the game. It would be a bit like playing poker with a marked Ace card.

Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".
