One of the reasons they are so cheap is the fact that they are made of base metals. They are also made in large quantities.
Only the screwback versions from the 1950s were made of silver and minted (guess where?) in the Soviet mint. Those are in fact of very nice quality and, I think, quite collectible. But the later variations, being so cheap, can make a nice collection for a small amount of money.
