these are very cool,,not sure what they are but I think it says something about fertility,the side with what looks like glifs has a phallic like symbol and a challis like across from it,,,I cant wait to see what everyone thinks of that,,but the kanji on the top of the center photo,,which is upside down refers to father or fatherhood,,,or I may not be in the ballpark,,but I tried,,

The big one on top is a one-cent coin (commonly called a penny) from the United States of America, made in 1951 in San Francisco, California.

The middle one on the bottom is a Chinese cash coin, circa 1851-1861 from the Ch'ing dynasty, Hsien Feng Tung Pao reign. http://www.sportstune.com/chinese/c...ienfeng.html

Not sure about the two on the ends - they don't fit what I am used to seeing on cash coins.

Edited to add: The ones on the ends appear to be Chinese charms. They're not really coins or patterns.

I think he was using a penny as a point of reference, for scale/size.
