couple of interesting coin machine finds - foreign silver!

[FormerTeller]

Used the coin counter at my dump bank today, and noticed a couple of coins in the reject bin.

A 1942 Australian 3 pence piece - .925 silver!






And I really have no idea what the second one is. Not quite round, about the size of a dime.



I assumed it is some kind of button, though there seems to be nowhere to tie thread. I'm stumped with this. Anyone got any ideas?

That's a fake ancient coin. Or I could say replica.

It's a fake of a coin sometimes called the Widow's Mite (Bible story).
