Here is some info off wiki Stu , can't always trust it but looks like they are made of Palladium, would have been expensive to buy, I'm sure Peter will supply you with some better info though.

Interesting coins sutt. According to my old (1974) K &M catalogue, these were gilded cupro-nickel, 10,000 sets issued as you say, cost $13.68 when new and were catalogued then at $15.00. I don't know their current value sorry.
