5. It Looks Like Brass To Me

Brass ingots weigh about 17.5# and can be purchased for a bit over $2 per pound for yellow brass (lower copper, higher zinc). Red brass is a bit more, but these coins look like yellow brass.
By the look of these coins, I'm going to guess one ounce each.
So, there is probably 10-15 cents of brass in each coin.
Be surprised if these coins cost more than a buck to make. Perhaps less.
