I assume you're not talking about golf
But then again, maybe you are. I hear that after a particularly frustrating game, golfers can become somewhat irascible.

 

As for where the coins are from, well, at least the ones with Latin characters should be very easy to identify by simply entering the country name (or what could be a country name ) in a search engine. Confoederatio Helvetica, for example, is the Latin name of the Swiss Confederation (on some other Swiss coins that you showed here they use the short version Helvetia = Switzerland). Bundesrepublik Deutschland is the Federal Republic of Germany, Koningin der Nederlanden means Queen of the Netherlands, etc.

thanks to some insight from my grandma I found out he collected these during world war II getting shipped out all over the place apparently, I've found out most of them. The ones on the top piece of paper still have me stumped >.<

It looks like a 1 Franc coin from Belgium.
