"Junk" silver dollars purchased from recycling aluminum cans.

Don't remember recycled cans for me but I do recall collecting 'pop' bottles and returning for the recycling fee. Seems like it was 2c or 3c and then went up to 5c and 10c.... Then there were some that had a few states initials on them.
Ah, wooden nickels. I had/have a bunch of these but not sure if they are in a ziplock or were trashed. They were mostly ads for companies or shows or similar. I kept a few in the 3 ring binder pages of stuff. The one in the center appears to have an error. I wonder if one can still redeem that Lone Star.

I think this is kind of coin related (?)
Pretty ornate yet I don't know much about the maker (Bastian Brothers).
Just thought it was cool.

I went to Zimbabwe in 2016 and was offered a bunch of these hyper-inflation Zim dollar notes. But I didn't know at that time what they called their currency: dollars, pounds, yen, pesos, shekels, I had no clue.
So I finally stopped to talk to one of the guys and pointed at the notes in his hand and asked, "so, what do you call these?" And he looks at me like I'm maybe mildly brain-damaged and says, "Souvenirs." After I got done laughing, I bought one! So now, I'm a multi-billionaire, like @fluffy155!
And like @lilolme says, it's not expensive - but here it is.
Wait, can this get graded as an off metal planchet?

If @TomB is right about DGS, I regret selling this one:

Not sure where and when I got this (probably years ago from a relative) but I think it is okay and have it on one of my shelves of stuff/junk.

@LeeBone I have one of those dimes. But not with the neat card. Right now I don't recall seeing a card.
@OAKSTAR I remember those but dimes I think they were. Interesting the $10.25 bottom center. If a price, then that kind of dates it back some years.

I recently discovered US fractional notes. Here is a group of ungraded notes I came across for fairly cheap.
