I have accumulated a couple more items that look kinda like coins, but aren't. Here is one (sorry for the less than optimal cropping and no rev pic). I'll post the answer in a couple days.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Hmm no takers on guessing this time around. For all you lurkers, it is a manhole cover from the streets of Tokyo. As it turns out, there are multiple websites about these things, including this one featuring the same design: https://en.japantravel.com/yamaguch...covers/37068The central design is that of a cherry blossom.

Looks like an upside down ashtray to me. Glad to have this thread active again too. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I'm guessing a glass jar lid. I've had a few that looked similar.
