Photos #19 and #20 seem to show a coin of Franz 1 of Austria, but lacking a date and denomination, it may be a Jeton or token used for counting/tallying.
A few of those other coins (but not all) have a modest silver content, but I must caution that starting your automobile to drive to the coin shop (a special trip) would chew up any money that you would get from selling these.
The 1988 Washington Quarter may be spent without further worry.
These are fascinating! Definitely worth keeping. Thanks for sharing

That's a Reader's Digest brass replica of an Austrian gold ducat. I have two of them I inherited from my grandmother (who was a big RD subscriber). One of them has COPY clearly marked on it; the other does not. They are otherwise identical.
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
@Sapyx With you stating it that way, yes, it is easy to find that Numista agrees with you! Many thanks! Seems like an odd choice for a promotional item.
You would be well served to use en.ucoin.net to look up these coins. Silver is good, has value, condition is important. Peace Roy
