I see some 40% silver dates.
Could be worse; could be 0%.
Why don't you put a little effort into this and ask about specific points for each coin instead of going through a photo-dump of change from a jar and asking everyone to do your work for you?

That’s a great point! Is is really that bad of a collection?
In general, people don't usually acquire valuable coins by accident, and it's not normally a winning strategy to buy coins one knows nothing about, while at the same time hoping for a jackpot.
It's not hard to look up sold prices for coins on eBay, by the way. None of your coins are in pristine condition, to say the least, so looking at sold prices at the bottom end should give you a good idea of what they're worth.
You're probably also better off asking about the non-US coins on the World Coins subforum. We don;t get anywhere near enough activity over there and more posts are always welcome.
Your Japanese 1 yen is dated Showa Year 30 (AD 1955), which is the first year of issue and a scarce coin in high grade. Your Australian penny is also scarce in higher grade but we'd need to see the other side to grade it properly, though the side we can see is looking kind of corroded in spots.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
I'm also having a little difficulty in telling which pictures of the Kennedys belong with each other.

The U.S. coins worth more than face value are the 1965 and 1966 Kennedy halves, whose current melt value is about $4.25 each.
The world coins should be shown on the World & Ancient Coins Forum - corrected link: https://forums.collectors.com/categories/world-ancient-coins-forum

The coins are all posted in order front to back I don’t think I missed any
And that link to world coins didn’t work

Repeating the earlier comment so that it doesn't get lost. @IkesT is on target. Your coins don't exactly have "no value"... but you may have already spent more time taking and posting pictures than your coins are worth.
Does any of this surprise you? Why would you think that these coins have any value to speak of?
I don't see much.
A couple aren't common but they are common enough in higher grade collectors don't care.
A few I don't know for certain.
I do set aside Chinese coins. Most have no value though.
As stated above..
Not up on world coins but a little bit of silver there. I'd save the 65 and 66 Kennedy halves.
The Ike dollar is a spender.
