Yesterdays finds

[fwcrawford]

A couple of buddies and I got out yesterday and hunted around some old homes.
We found quite a few wheat pennies with the oldest being a 1910 and the newest a 1957.
Only got one silver coin and that was a 1917 worn merc. dime, but I was glad when it showed itself.
While hunting one of the yards, my buddies started finding some tokens that were made of aluminum and about as big
as a silver dollar.
I haven't seen any like these before and am wondering if anyone here has seen them or found any.
Some were different than the one I found ( see photo ) and some were found in the same hole.
I think we ended up with 12 of them.
Any help would be appreciated on the ID of this item.
Thanks for looking,
Felix

(I'm really jealous of you guys who have ground soft enough to dig in right now!)
