    2. Trey Trey, 8 years ago
      Why are some of them punched out in center?
    3. SpiritBear, 8 years ago
      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.
