Hello all, I am a new person here and I was looking for any info I can get on what I believe are Chinese Cash Coins. I purchased them for $1 at a garage sale with some other foreign currency. If anyone can identify them and tell me anything as to value or degree of collectibility. I put the general weight in grams (not exact) next to each coin becasue I found that to be a common identifier. I also numbered the coins to make it easy when refering to them. I am a collector and I would appreciate any info I can get.
