I have been going through an box of random darkside coins trying to identify them. I was hoping someone could help me out with these. Sorry for the lousy scans.
Sure Newsman, I spend all this time paging through my Krause to find the answer for the first coin and you've already beat me too it!
The third is a Japanese 10 Yen, though I cannot tell the date from the scan.
Except for the last one, the others are cash coins. I could not even attempt to determine the country of origin of these (China, Korea, Japan) much less attribute them.

The second and fifth coins are from China, circa 1890 to 1908, minted in Guangzhou. The sixth coin is also Chinese, from the Qianlong reign, 1736-96. The middle coin is from China too probably 18th century. If you turn it over, we can see which reign period it comes from.

Edited to fix regnal year after closer examination of the coin.

The middle coin is from the Jiaqing reign, 1796-1821.
The two oldest Chinese coins were minted by the Board of Revenue in Beijing.
