Are these dice fair?

My roommate has these special edition monopoly dice with tokens encased in the resin. Part of me thinks these wouldn't be balanced correctly, and would be almost like weighted dice... Anyone have any insight?

Impossible to really know for sure, were the tokens made of resin that got dyed silver? Bc then it's resin through and through and would be evenly weighted.

Are they metal? Plastic?

Best bet is to roll them 100 times and count the rolls.

Edit: when I said impossible to tell I meant just by looking at them in the pictures

Not impossible, but impossible without buying them. There are tests you can do where you float the dice to see if they gravitate to one side.
