Spend them; they are only worth 1 cent.
They are both extremely damaged by acid treatment or some other kind of corrosion.

Agreed – chemically treated
The WEIGHT is not wrong, it is correct for a coin that has been partially eaten away by acid.
The advice you have received to spend these coins is good, but there may be a problem.
You have indicated the existence of colleagues, which along with yourself indicates no fewer than three persons to whom some portion of these proceeds shall be entitled.
It appears you have two cents which will need to be divided into, let me assume, three portions.
The only solution I can come up with is to saw the coins into three pieces each and deliver two of these 1/3c bits to each colleague.
But as far as I know, in the present day and age, cut portions of coins are not generally accepted in regular commerce, in fact making them nearly impossible to spend…
Good luck all the same!
