I was lookin through all my coins i have gotten from different countries and coins I have gotten from my family and I found one that is plain. There isn't anything on it. It is barely larger than a penny. Anyone know what it is or where it is from? Looks like it could be copper maybe.

Yes

Also got a chinese(I think) coin that looks pretty old. The round one with the square in the middle. I can't find it anywhere on the internet

well the US mint has never had a coin with a raised edge and nothing on it EVER get sent out. sooo, its not from the US.

is it pure cooper? or does it have a redish tint?

Not sure if it is even copper. Kind of a yellowish tint right near the raised part from where it looks like not much has touched it.
