Glass coins are very
rare.
Early Islamic coin weights were made of glass.
"Account marks" issued by the Duke Spremont in Maehren were
also made of glass.
Porcelain
coins were very popular because of their beauty but unpractical because
they broke very easily. After a state law against the making of emergency
money in 1922, porcelain coins weren't used as monetary units, but we
still see porcelain medallions now and again.

Coins made
of porcelain belong to the category of "emergency
money". The State Porcelain Manufacturer Meissen produced porcelain
coins made of white fine china or of brown stoneware with golden or coloured
decorations.
White
porcelain coins with coloured characters were used in casinos in Siam
(today's Thailand) as marks or private coins.
