    1. Put`em all together tightly into one piece of paper.

    2. Carefully place into garbage bin.

    3. Don't buy anymore "coins" until you learn how those coin should look and also a bit about detecting obvious counterfeits.

    I can have them, anyone can, from Aliexpress. Problem is, I don't want them, I got the real versions of most of them, excluding that hilarious 1865 Washington "dollar". Always makes me laugh.

    Hey, how come so many different coins from different countries and periods look the same and got same damage on them? :D

    They have the look of fakes I've seen on ebay that are cheap, and very bad Chinese fakes.

    That looks like a really bad fake of a 1981 Silver Trade Unit.

    I'll give you the answer you want to hear.

    They are authentic coins and worth about $5000 each.

    Remote areas frequented by tourists are just the place to sell these imitations because the visitors are off guard and also have an unfortunate attitude that the locals are ignorant and will sell diamonds as glass. The only good thing is that the local vendor often needs the money a lot more than the visitor does.

    I can assure you china most likely had everything to do with it. I'd also tell you that most open markets where locals sell to tourists are replete with knock off imitations of everything and anything, but the broken English and other clues lead me to wonder if this isn't a counterfeiter looking for us to describe a better way to fake it.
