Many countries produce gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins. I won't have time to explore just how many, but there seems to be more fake candy money made of chocolate ("chocsimiles") than other candy types. I have not seen, for example, any gummy coinage, or peppermint dollar bills. But, they may be out there.
