Good point - coins or coin equivalent only. Things like notgeld are acceptable, but it must have a face value and be something that you could reasonably expect to pay taxes or a parking ticket with (at least at the time of issue)

I don't have pictures of most of my world coins. For what it's worth, though, I have a bunch of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174618454200Probably 2" in diameter and 3-5 g. They are not, however, legal tender.
