Are any of these worth anything?

Hello I found a jewelry box with 15 coins in it. I've looked around online to try to find the value of them, but it jumps around too much so maybe one of you can help me. Most of it has foreign language so I can't read it/type it (Japanese characters).

What I can read

British Virgin Islands $20 1985
1929-S Buffalo Nickel
1975 Canadian Penny


Foreign

1 Piso "Jose Rizal - Republika NG Pillipinas 1972"
5 Pfennig "Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1988
Repvbblica Italiana 100 1979

    The BVI coin is likely silver and perhaps minted by the Franklin Mint in the USA.

    Spend that foreign (except the BVI coin).

    The 29s nickel would need to see a pic to determine any value.
    can you provide pics of front and back?

    I took some pictures. It's hard to see because it's from a cell phone. The flash from my camera makes it impossible to see and it's too dark when the flash is off. I don't know how to get a proper photo. Any tips would help.

    All but the VI coins are of little or no value.

    I suspect the BVI coin is this one: Minted by The Franklin Mint, .925 Silver, .5677 oz.

    I am sorry, DAnderson, to tell you that there are no precious jewels there. The 1929-S Buffalo nickel may be worth $5. The BVI, perhaps $8 or $9 based on its silver content, a little more if it's in wonderful condition. Those are the best of the lot.

    Odd assortment of finds. Just because they don't have much value doesn't mean they can't be interesting!

    No it's obviously been circulated and used. It's scratched up and not in very good condition. The buffalo nickel has a faded date. I thought it said 1926-S until further inspection I noticed it was a 9. The other coins are Yen which are useless from what I've found on Google so far. :/ Here is a full-sized picture of everything I found.

    DAnderson76 welcome to this Forum and I hope you participate often. Please don't take offense,
    but you gave me a good chuckle after viewing your pictures. They probably just took over first

    I had to make them small because the image size limit was 50kb. I didn't think to link to an image host until now. I still can't do anything about the blur though.
