Here are three coins front and back. 2 pefinngs? 5 and dont know the other. I assume they are a German issue, but have no date. they are the smallest coins I have ever seen. All three are each aprox. 1/2 inch in diam. I placed this on a thread a year or so ago and no one knew. We have a few more coin experts now so I thought I would try again. I really want an anwser to this one. I am in the dark. German in issue, but what, why and when?

The 2 coin looks like it says SPIELGELD.. = play money.
The 5 seems to be notgeld.. See http://www.coinworld.com/news/120103/BW_1201.asp
Maybe the 2 coin was used as currency too..
As for the other one.. No idea.. Too hard to see.
They could be miniature versions of actual coin designs.
Any chance of better pictures? Or, can you write out all the text from them all?

I will get a magnifier and see if I can write them out. I think you are very close to what they are.
Check back tomorrow.

they don't look genuine....reproductions of some sort....play money or novelties.

Germany did make some really small coins but thery were made of gold. i know because I have one. still a nice find especially for being really small

I'll go with the play money idea, but they are are all good quality. I picked them up with a lady leg corkscrew and several Nazi medals in a box full of stuff I bought a number of years ago. I probably have about 10 or more of the coins mstly different.
