I seem to have a lot of these, all are aluminium unless otherwise noted. Generally its a metal for the cheapest and lowest denominations.

Some more, an Austrian 10 Groschen, a common coin - but this is a quite nice one.

Also compared to a lot of low value aluminium coins which have cheap and basic designs, this is pretty nice (I have a soft spot for Austria having loved my visit there in 2014)

50 Xu/Su South Vietnam - this is also a fairly large and elaborate aluminium piece. Its a nice coin I think.

Italy 10 Lire - another coin I like when its high grade, quite an elaborate design for a cheap coin. It is not all bling bling 200 year silver halfcrowns with me

Pakistan - 1 paise - another tiny low value piece, but a beautiful design - nice Islamic calligraphy that does follow the rules of no graven images in Islamic art.

Post-Your-Aluminium-&-Zinc-Coins
Malta 3 mils 1972 - another nice design and quite complex for a low value piece with an interesting edge, I like the bee and honeycomb design.

A lot of these coins are very nice in my opinion, you don't need bling or high value pieces to get some cute coins!
