Back to the vaults with Israel. It has been four years since I last found an Israeli coin in my change. Before 2006 these coins were often found in my change here in New York City. The reason was the constant travel by tourist from and to Israel.
From 2003-2006 the sheqel became a freely convertible currency and entered a number of trading markets. Well all that means is that the sheqel is one of few types of currency that is not useless outside of its own country. So less Israeli coins were "accidentally" put into American circulation.

Mintage: 28,224,000
Metal: Bi-Metallic: Aureate Bonded Bronze center in Nickel Bonded Steel ring
Value: $2.58 in XF and current exchange rates
Most Israeli coins were minted in South Korea so no matter what sort of instability happens in the Mid-East they would always have a fresh supply.
Do you have an Israeli coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I have a coin and a token I wanted to identify.
Unfortunately I cannot identify either.
Both seem like tokens although the images are not clear.
I'm sorry I'll keep searching but for now they do not stand out as rare or valuable.
The first coin/token is extremely worn down (leading me to believe it is a coin). The other token I will attach better pictures of it in this post. I deleted the pic of the back side of the coin because it is blank and I needed the space.

--To me it looks like a button but I still can't say.

--Again it is some type of token but I can't identify the language. You may need to find an Asian expert to translate.
You were right with the "Button" ID

There is a button collectors community but from what I understand most buttons are not that valuable.
I have these coins but I don't know their value in US dollar now.
I don't know how to post the picture here. Is there any email address that i could send those pictures to?
thanks before

No, better to use a free photo site and copy & paste the link.
Or provide your own email.
