Giant-sized replica coins - worth anything?

[pendragon1998]

When I was a kid, I picked up some giant-sized replicas of several US coins - 1913-S Buffalo Nickel, 1909-S VDB Cent, etc. - Does anyone collect that sort of thing? What's the proper term for these items? They're about 3" across, in medal orientation, and I think they're cast aluminum.

Sometimes, the proper term is "trivet" or "coaster".

When I went to philadelphia, people were selling these all over the street. I think I payed maybe $1 each, and I bought one of each kind. Not worth too much I wouldn't guess.

Yeah, I didn't think so. Sort of interesting, though.
