Picked these up in the chessiest display of Korean coins. It obviously was a tourist peice of junk probably from around 35 years ago judging by the fact that the newest uncirculated coin in the bunch was from 1972. The entire display is riddled with mis-spelled words and broken English. 2 of these really appear to be silver. I don't even know what to do with these.

Your instincts are correct - they're not coins, particularly the ones with intricate voids - they'd take way too long to make, and wouldn't stand up to much circulation before they break. They're probably some kind of amulet/temple token.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
