Found in a lot of tokens and similar things, very small, no date. Both sides the same. Says SPIELGELD RECHENMUNZE.



There also were some like this, this one's quite weird since it has an outline of the "2" (backwards) visible behind the leaves.. I think it's some kind of error



And a few had visible.. mechanical doubling, I suppose



Some have dates, from 1949 up to 1989. Some bear similarities to Bundesrepublik coins. The question is, what are they and what were they used for?

Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap

These are play money. SPIEL means play and GELD means money.

Umm, there's that Hitler obsession again ... Those pieces (the actual coin in the first image) were introduced in 1923, after the inflation, and were legal tender (though rare and basically worthless) until 1948. Such play money was used for "merchant/store" games that children would play - basically the older version of something like this: http://images.mytoys.com/intershopr...404554-l.jpg
