Or do I just have a nice collection of metal slugs!? Found in a bulk lot

Different sizes, the bi-metal one weighs 7.52g - thought possibly a EURO, but in this state it is 1-2mm bigger. All are non-magnetic apart from the 2 smaller 'coppers' - All edges are smooth, apart from the smaller 'white' ones which have an edge similar to Irish punts / Indian rupees from the 40's

I know sometimes the edges can also help reveal additional information (i.e. reeded, clad layer, etc).

Very interesting group. I assume you can measure and weigh the against known values.

Pretty neat lot. At least they look like type 2 planchets.

Looks like two pennies, and a few crowns (quarters in America) and maybe dimes. Are these American or united kingdom?
