    I know zero, zilch, nada about world coins, but I grabbed a few from a bag that my granddad gave me decades ago. Can anybody help identify these? Anything valuable or of note?

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    The pair at #1 is a good object lesson as to why zinc coinage and longevity are natural enemies. Also, it is a minor illustration that what mostly debases currency is not printing money, but engaging in war.

    All of your coins are fairly modern. And common. The 1952 "1 farthing" looks like it could be worth .20 cents in that condition.
    # 2 is 1 Agora from 1974. #3 is from 1977 #4 is 20 Rappen.
    #5 is 50 Fils from 1965. #7 is 10 Lepta.

    Don't see anything valuable there either. In #1, the 5 Rpf coin could have a G mintmark which would be Karlsruhe. The "F" on the 2 Rpf piece means it is from Stuttgart.

    And the coin from Spain has a "double date": The 1975 below the king's head is the authorization date; the two stars on the other side show the production date (19 and 77). They stopped doing that in the early 1980s ...
