These premium coins are made of plastic and many of them are metal coated. These coins were marketed in a few ways by Topps. One way was in one cent packs of bubble gum called ''World Play Money Coins'', and the other way was in cellophane wrapped strips in boxes of ''Play Money Pops''. They were made of different denominations from (24) different countries. In this lot, the top center one appears to be different in size and design. It is similar but may be from a different set. In the order pictured, the included play coins are marked on the two sides as follows: CENT CANADA / 100 PLAY COINS OF THE WORLD
KAABA - MECCA ARABIA / NEW COINS OF THE WORLD
