    I'm back again with more Asian coins I need help identifying. Most importantly I need to figure out the country and denomination. Knowing the year would be a bonus. Just for fun, because I like to try to figure these out, I'll tell you my guesses.
    The first I think is Korean.
    The second I really don't know.
    The third I don't know either.

    Here's the other two. The first I thought might be nationalist China because the flag reminds me of that. The second kind of reminds me of Chiang Kai Shek, so it might be from Taiwan.

    Thanks, that helps a lot. Some are older than I would have expected.
