No, these aren't even silver - just cheap nickel-copper but I guess that's roughly about the metal value. If these are genuine coins, some of them...
I do believe I have a counterfeit Chinese 1 yuan somewhere in my collection that my dad picked it up from circulation. I'll have to dig it out one...
