I think we'll need more clues :-).

Hydrocotyle leucocephala ("Brazilian Pennywort") is an aquatic and is
undemanding.  It has liliy-pad like leaves about 3-4" in dia and tends
to want to grow to the surface so the leaves can float. 

Lysimachia nummularia ("Creeping Penny" or "Moneywort") has small
round leaves up to about 1/2" dia.  It is slow growing and needs high
light.
