These were all probably available on a Chinese website for less than $2 each, free shipping. Most of them would have to be clearly stamped COPY in order to legally be sold to a US buyer. To me, they are worthless and the best outcome is to destroy them. Too many people are duped by these things and selling them on just perpetuates a negative experience for someone else.

 Not even worth adding to a black cabinet in my opinion.

I would say destroy them as well. Best way to prevent people getting scammed with these is to get get rid of them forvever.

Comically Fake...  Don't see how anyone who collects US coins (even Stevie Wonder) would be fooled by these.

Maybe mount them on a post and use them for target practice. A few bullet holes will ensure a novice collector isn't tempted.

Some of them are, technically, fantasies not fakes, since no such coin was ever issued. The starting point for determining authenticity is to determine what coin/pattern it is, or appears to be. If there is no such coin, it most definitely cannot be real. Fake or fantasy, though, it does not change the value.

These are the kinds of trinkets one might find at a market in China and Hong Kong. They always put a smile on my face and gave me a chuckle.

i can tell just by looking at a tiny fraction of the image that they are all going to be fake, as to how much don't try selling them because people will get angry at you for trying to sell them fakes. Personally wouldn't pay more than a few dollars.

You won't get anything for them at all All are very obviously fake.
It may help if you find out who sold them to you in the first place. (provenance)
