Gotta take my wife out to dinner in a few minutes, so I can't help much beyond saying that most of them are Greek; and the coins in the first picture are from past Egyptian combinations with other Arab countries.

1 = Greek 20 drachmai
2 = Greek 50 drachmai
3 = Greek 1 drachma
4 = Greek 2 drachmai
5 = Greek 5 drachmai

This link should help you with the Krause numbers and values: http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/Greece.html

Thanks Jhonn, now taht im lookin at em, i can recognize the greek lettering..
well, unless one of these is rare, seems i dont have enough drachmai to be worth 75 cents at current exchange rates...

Hontonai, ah, thanks.. thats all ive been able to figure out right now, that it reminds me of egypt or the united arab thing with syria, but cant find an example of those exact coins

The coin at the top of the first picture is Arab Republic, double dated AH1392/1972CE, cu-ni, 10 piastres.

The problem is that the obverse doesn't match KM#430 which has those dates, but does match KM#442 which has later dates and a completely different reverse. It may be KM#431, which is listed (without any pictures) as a "mule". If so, it's catalog value is $17.50 XF.

The two coins at the bottom of the picture are both United Arab Republic, double dated AH1387/CE1967, cu-ni. The one on the left is KM#412, 5 piastres, mintage 10,800,000, catalog value 75¢ XF, and the other is KM#413, 10 piastres, mintage 13,200,000, catalog value 90¢ XF.

Krause lists both the United Arab Republic (1958-1971) and the Arab Republic (1971-present) as Egypt.
