Chinese coin. They have been around for millennia and common on wind-chimes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_(Chinese_coin)

Just like Charlie said, it's a Chinese coin.

It could be from an I-Ching devination set.

Definitely a Chinese coin; always a welcome find!

I had to turn my phone sideways again to look at the coin Well this is a guess because that coin is in very rough shape. After looking at many coin examples I’m guessing it’s a 乾隆通寶 Qiánlóng coin. My guess is based on what looks like the last stroke in the character qian 乾，乙. Also the (B)⻖looking radical in 隆 (long) looks visible. Judging by the hole beside the clearest character (bao)寶，it might have been on a string or part of a chime.
