Were these things "Pocket pieces"  or lucky coins - I cannot think of any use for them

As far as I can gather they were used as advertising pieces for the different companies and establishments. Although there were produced within the UK, they are far more popular within the USA. I am sure they were also produced as lucky coins as well. I have a few with "Good Luck From" printed on them.
