Enjay:
Were they coins? Yes. Old Polish coins? Some older, some newer, but all were valid currency. Other coins whose value equates to 2 PLN? No.
************SPOILER****************
My father collects coins and is very devoted to this hobby. For Father's day (which we celebrate on June 23rd in Poland) me and my brother bought him four 2 PLN coins, for which I paid the total of 60 PLN. I don't know enough about collectable coins to know whether the price was good or not, but I am happy I could give them to my father anyway.
Thanks for everybody who participated in this little puzzle.
And small coin-business explanation:
Polish Central Bank issues special 2 PLN coins on various occassions few times a year. They have occasional pictures on their heads. These are valid currency, worth exactly 2 PLN if you spend them in the shop. Bank sells them for 2 PLN each, but if you fail to get them in the bank you may have to pay the collectioners much bigger price.
