"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?

Got this at a recent show. It is a thin channel section and threaded and can open slightly to insert a dollar.

At first I put a pocket piece in it. But then decided that was not getting much use. So then put one of my 'iffy' toned dollars in it (okay more than 'iffy'). Put a string through it and now hanging on one of the shelves (full of stuff).
.

I have had several of these for years plus now but don't recall where they came from (gifted probably).
Like that description..... 'covered in pure 24KT gold'.
Just came across this from the father of a girl who I went to school with since elementary school. He is moving and is getting rid of most everything. In total I gave him around $540 for the coins and medals he had. All of this stuff had not seen the light of day since the early 1970's. There are 5 Mercs and 5 Roosevelts in here dated between 1941 and 1949. Pretty cool little piece of nostalgia IMO.

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.

@Twobitcollector - You made that?
@OAKSTAR
Well sort of, I had a few of the hobos, and I purchased a ring blank off Amazon and used epoxy to join them together.
