The first four seem to be related based on the appearance. I know nothing about them and can't find an image online. Are they normally holed? At least one even has an interesting doubled die and the die cracks are interesting too.

From what I know about holed tokens, they were used in the old slot/gum/cigarette gaming machines. The purpose of the hole was so replayed tokens didn't keep giving product out more than once to the same player. people were more likely to play when the tokens were given rather than money. Of course it was all a dodge to get around the gambling laws.
Rest in Peace

The holes don't make sense to me, it's almost like a 'cancellation'.

But then, why would Bert and Val (VB) be holed?
