Are these junk or do I have something worth keeping

I have these coins and I'm wondering if they are junk or if some have any value

    These are (mostly) ten cash (or 1 cent) coins from China, both the late Imperial and early Republic periods. There are some scarce varieties in the 10 cash series, but we'd need better pictures to try to spot them.

    At least one of your coins is a reproduction: the lower one of the two that have square holes. The upper one seems a genuine Emperor Qianlong cash (from the 1700s), though in fairly poor condition.

    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
