What can you tell me about Chinese coins??

12 years ago

Found this coin(?) and was wondering if anyone either knows Chinese, or can tell me anything about it. Like, is it old/new or what is it made of or what does it say.

May it's a plain, old subway token :) who knows.

I don't know anything about Chinese coins, but I remember my grandmother's small sewing basket had some, held on with glass beads and tassels made with bright red silky thread. The basket was probably made for the souvenir trade.
