I keep looking at this thinking I should just throw it away?

Keep looking at it and asking why is it green,it's the size of a penny kinda looks like a coin on the edge it has me wanting to clean it off better I don't see nothing on it as of now. Should I clean it off ?

I would say if you are willing to just throw it away, sure clean it and see if any other details uncover. If anything it can go into your copper scrap bucket )

I think I might as well clean it with an electrolysis, it's just all bent up I don't see a dragon on it just some marks where it got hit by some thing if it's not a coin what was it?

Little lemon juice and a toothbrush should take care of it.
