Nice collection filmnet. Well who knew? I had no idea these things were currency. I have a few of the one in the second pic, bottom left. They were in my dad's jewelry box. I put a leather string thru it and wore it around my neck. WOW! I learn so much from this site.
Both pictures above are the same coins fronts and backs
The corroded coin is from French Indo china. The ceramic piece is a Thai gaming token. The square holed coin is a Chinese cash coin and the last one is 1 satang from Thailand 1941-2
