    Let's see. It's always tricky to try to get things right in multi-coin threads with no ID numbers and the pictures all mixed up, but I'll do some incessant scrolling up and down, assign some numbers and have a go at it.

    1. Replica Chinese cash coin, usually used for Feng Shui ornaments. minimal value, zero collector interest.
    2. Australia 1 cent 1978. Corroded, no value.
    3. Vatican CIty lira 1951. Minimal value; CV $1.
    4. Japan 1 yen Showa Year 30 (AD 1955). As I said in another thread, this one might be valuable ($5 to $10) if it's in high enough grade. Japan was not making mint sets at the time, so uncirculated coins are hard to find, but well-circulated examples are only a couple of cents.
    5. Canada 1 cent 1965. Minmal value.
    6. Belgium 50 centimes 1957 Flemish variety, minimal value. CV 30¢.
    7. Switzerland 10 rappen 1915. Actually a scarcer date. In this condition, maybe $2 or so.
    8. Italy 10 lire 1955. Minimal value.
    9. Israel 10 new sheqalim. Current coin, exchange rate value about US$2.70.
    10. East Africa cent 1942. CV 50¢ or so.
    11. Austria 1 schilling 1974. Minimal value.
    12. Israel 10 agorot. exchange rate value US3 cents.
    13. Sweden 2 ore 1955. CV maybe 80 cents.
    14. Great Britain 20 pence 1996. Corroded, exchange value US25 cents.
    15. Sweden 50 ore 2000, minimal value.

    Sorry, that took me over half an hour, and can't put any more time into looking up the details. The others don;t seem to hold much value, except the Netherlands gulden which is silver.

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

    Wow that is all very cool, thank you for that effort, I hope it was at least entertaining for you, I was hoping these would have some value because those places don’t even exist anymore, guess not.

    OK, got a bit more time this evening, so let's try and continue. I really don't mind doing this kind of thing, it keeps me in practice for doing it when I buy bulk lots of coins for myself.

    Well, the only "country that doesn't exist any more" in this list is East Africa. Many of the other coinages are obsolete, but the countries are still going fine.

    1. Israel 25 prutah 1949. CV $2 or so.
    2. Israel 10 prutah 1949 (the bronze one). CV $1 or so.
    3. Austria 50 groschen 1955. Minimal value.
    4. Israel 10 prutah 1952 (the aluminium scalloepd one). Minimal value.
    5. Great Britain penny 1920. Minimal value.
    6. Israel 25 prutah 1954. Similar to number 16, but a slightly different design. CV $1
    7. Mexico 5 centavos 1952. Seems to have an odd lamination peel going on on the obverse. Maybe a couple of dollars?
    8. Netherlands 1 gulden 1954. Silver. Current BV: $4.38.
    9. Switzerland 10 rappen 1955. Exchange rate value US11 cents.
