I have these 2 items which may be blank planchets.

The larger one is brass, not magnetic, 25.4 mm in Diameter and weighs 5.74 grams.

The smaller one is non-magnetic, likely Copper-nickel, 19.8 mm in diameter and weighs 3.52 grams.

On both the items is round, there is a raised rim, and the edge is plain. Both sides are identical

I live in Canada but neither corresponds to any Canadian coin.

The brass one is about the size of a game machine token. Is it possible to be one?

Unfortunately they could be nearly anything! Without a provenance and without strange dimensions or composition, it will be very difficult to identify their origin.
