woah good find
Why are some of them punched out in center?
Fleafinder, thank you.
Trey, I believe the square-holed center represents the World. Probably represents something positive to its holders.
This was used to allow collections of coins to be threaded on a square rod so that the rough edges could be filed smooth, and then threaded on strings for ease of handling.
