Date: 2010-05-25 06:41 am (UTC)Italy is correct, that's 10 eurocents.
The franc is a franc, but where is it from? France doesn't have francs anymore. :-)
The Czech Republic is right.
And it's actually a wacky nickel, not a quarter. Are they doing something weird with nickels now? I'm going to have a lot to learn when I get back to Pittsburgh! :-)

Date: 2010-05-25 06:57 am (UTC)I zoomed in on the picture, and can make out the name of Turkey. Another one is probably Thailand, although I suppose Cambodia is not out of the question.

Date: 2010-05-25 11:17 am (UTC)And the top one is indeed 5 Thai baht. I ought to have some Sri Lankan rupees around somewhere, but apparently not in my change jar... hmm...

Date: 2010-05-26 08:55 pm (UTC)The one right below it is almost certainly a Qatari 25 dirham coin, although it's kind of hard to tell because the obverse of all the Qatari coins is the same. It might be a 5 dirham coin, but I have no idea where Marjorie would have got one of those so I'm sticking with 25. (This is the only one I guessed before looking it up, although if I'd thought about it for a while I could probably have managed 2HKD as well.)
The Turkish coin is probably a 10 (new) kuruş coin from 2005-2008; the design was changed for 2009. If it's old lira instead, it will say a silly large number on the back (100k lire, probably), but it's still only worth six cents.
As far as value goes, the 1GBP coin is almost certainly the most valuable of those mentioned so far, at US$1.44, followed by the 20 Czech koruny at about US$0.96. The least is probably 10 XAF at a little under two cents, although if the Qatari coin is only 5 dirhams rather than 25, it's worth less at just over a penny.
There are still some unidentified coins though; I'm particularly interested in the big brass-and-nickel one labeled in Arabic on the right. I'm sure if I remembered how to read Arabic I could figure it out!

Date: 2010-05-27 07:26 am (UTC)The Qatari coin is 20 dirhams, not 25. :-)
The Turkish coin is indeed 100,000 old lira, worth 6 cents.
You're right about the most and least valuable, but the *second* most valuable one is actually the brass-and-nickel one, which is 10 Moroccan dirhams (worth $1.13). The Arabic indeed says المملكة المغربية (Kingdom of Morocco) on the left, but it's hard to tell in this picture.

Since that one's no older than 2006 (it has the new Qatari emblem) it should say the amount in normal numbers on the back. Now I'm curious!
