Back agian dark siders to find out what these are. Part of small hoard opf foreign coins that I am selling for a friend.. tHey are light, possibly aluminum, in very nice shape. Supect they may be some kind of German post WW1 emergency money. Are they worth anything, or just curiosities? Thanks for your help.

German notgeld, probably worth about $8/10 each. I'm sure if you check eBay, you can find past sales to verify values.
As @MasonG said, it's from the German notgeld period. I can't recall if its listed in Funck as a notgeld issue, or if it's in Menzel as a token. I don't have access to my library, but will look it up when I get a chance. I believe its a common issue as I used to get them regularly in bulk lots I used to purchase. Probably a $2-$5 item IMO. Still a very interesting part of history.
These coins are in the Krause catalog. For the first two, check under German States Hamburg. Which can be found on page 876 in the 2015 catalog. As for the third, check German States Schleswig Holstein and you will that one on the top of p 886. The values range in the $4-15 range
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
It's listed in Funck's Die Deutschen Notmunzen as 642.2 for Schleswig-Holstein Gold Girobank. Mintage 4.5 million. These are in the "unofficial" section.
