    It's a Chinese cash coin. Quite old, but not worth much. Maybe a dollar or two.

    The date is somewhere between 1086-1093, emperor Zhe Zong. I believe the characters on the coin reads as Yuan You Tong Bao".

    This is a fake imitating (not too well) the Widow's Mite of Bible fame. They are sold in gift shops as souvenirs and worth nothing.
