Looking to be educated on foreign coins. Thank you in advance for your wisdom.

I purchased a collection of U.S. coins this week. Included was a small bag of foreign coins. I have enjoyed trying to identify the foreign coins, but have been unable to identify some, and have no idea of the collectability or value of the coins that I have identified. I won't be able to post any images until my son returns from vacation on Monday. I have listed the coins that I have identified. ( Hopefully correctly )

1. 1782 4 Heller (Germany)
2. 1793 4 Kreuzer ( Swiss)
3. 1818 10 centimes ( French Guiana )
4. 1789 4 Pfennig ( Germany )
5. 1876 5 Ore (Norway )
6. 1863 1 Kreuzer ( Germany )
7. 1922 400 Reis ( Brazil )
8. 1946 Cinco Centavos ( Cuba )
9. 1866 Penny ( Britain )
10. 1919 Penny ( Britain )
11. 1882 penny ( Britain )
12. 1872 Penny ( Britain )
13. 1881 Penny ( Britain )
14. 1900 Penny ( Britain ) Cleaned
15. 1899 Half Penny ( Britain )
16. 1866 Half Penny ( Britain )
17. 1861 Half Penny ( Britain )
18. 1875 Half Penny ( Britain )
19. 1888 One Cent ( Canada )
20. 1896 One Cent ( Canada )
21. 1896 One Cent ( Canada )
22. 1865 One Cent ( Newfoundland ) Holed at 12 o'clock
23. 1901 One Cent ( Canada )
24. 1912 One Cent ( Canada )
25. 1918 25 centimes ( France )
26. 1791-1813 dateless 5 Reis ( Portugal )
27. Early 1800's dateless 8 Reales ( Mexico ) silver
28. 1899 3 Pence ( Britain ) silver
29. 1881 20 Cents ( Newfoundland ) silver
30. 1956 6 Pence ( Britain ) silver
31. 1899 50 Centimes ( France ) silver
32. 1918 50 Centimes ( France ) silver
33. 1913 5 Cents ( Canada ) silver x2
34. 1894 5 Cents ( Canada ) silver
35. 1932 1 Shilling ( Britain ) silver
36. 1943 6 Pence ( Britain ) silver
37. 1841 2 Annas ( India-British ) silver
38. 1901 1 Gulden ( Netherlands ) silver
39. 1905 1 Franc ( Swiss ) silver
40. 1945 20 Centavos ( Columbia ) silver x2

Then there are 8 or 10 that I couldn't identify due to the wear leaving only partial details. I will post scans of these on Monday. They appear to be older, possibly Colonial or Ancients. One of these is copper, about the size of a quarter, dated 1757, obverse has a bust facing right and I can make out: MTDGRJMPGHBREGAADLU around the edges.

Thanks again, Have a Great Day!
