Just love this bracelet has 12 charms all made from pennies some patina ?? Is this considered a love token bracelet ? Been trying to figure out if it’s genuine thanks

I have seen these before and believe charms were factory molded and could you buy these charm bracelets . Hoping someone with more knowledge in jewelry chimes in . Very cool bracelet !
I have seen the referred to as trench art WWII . But because they all seem to have same exact charms it seems as they were put in a machine to be bent and stamped like this . It is vintage and wonderful .
Each charm differs have a fry pan bell pitcher mug teapot coffee pot 2 victory stamp hat and a taller mug like a stein

I can see some are your bracelet are different but he other on's O have seen have exact same charms , So they must have been heated and put in a press or poured into a mold . It is very cool I agree !
