But do they hold any value? Or should they go in the bargain bin token box? Looks like 4 or 5 different California gold souvenirs tokens.
Also what are they made of? Gold plated copper or something?

Yes, all brass not gold.
They must have some value or did you get them for free?

The exonumia hobby is continually expanding and what might not be worth zip now could be worth a couple hundred dollars in a few years.
Mine claim to be real gold:
And do have a reverse:
They are gold.
That large lot though, just based on the appearance, are plated. Not to say that all bears are bad, as I've owned many that were gold.
The items in the OP are not gold and not real coins.... Souvenir items for tourists. Cheers, RickO
I bought a novelty set a bunch of years ago just because I liked the presentation.
