A lot of private companies take ordinary circulation coins, plate them with a thin layer of gold, and sell them at inflated prices as "collectibles". Unfortunately there's very little interest among coin collectors because technically the plating makes these items altered or damaged coins.
When people who bought them hoping to make a profit find out they can't sell them for what they paid they often just spend them to at least recover the coins' face value, so they end up in change and someone else finds them.
