Jim Skalbe was not yet online the last time I asked him (at the
F.U.N. Show ?). He might be now, but I don't know his e-mail
address.
He, and the gentleman that travels to coin shows with him, know more
about coin buttons than probably anyone. They have an amazing
collection, including many Latin American coins, made in official
latin American mints, that were made for the purpose of using as
buttons. The coins look almost identical to regal issues, except
that
the legends are slightly different. Jim and his friend told me that
real coins were commonly used as buttons by the well-to-do people.
Other less affluent persons would use these "imitation coins" as
buttons since they were less expensive, yet looked like the real
thing. I doubt if this interesting area of "coinage" has been
catalogued yet.

buttons. Thanks for the look out Byron.
