3 tokens.
#1 looks like a taj mahal on obverse. No idea what reverse is. Bronze or brass color with orangish patina. Not exactly round; slightly octagonal, won't roll well.
#2 I've had over 25 years. The friend who gave it to me called it a Jim Nickel. Slightly smaller size than a nickel. Bronze or brass color. Same image on obverse as reverse except its well rotated.
#3 I've also had over 25 years. Thrift-I-Matic Car Wash Token. Uniface octagon.
I'd like any information anyone can provide: dates, where these originated, value, etc.
Thanks.

Token #1 is from an arcade called Aladdin's Castle.

It's an arcade token from Aladdin's Castle, which was a nationwide chain for many years.
