I bought 8 world coins at a pawn shop today. I would like to know more about them, maybe if any are copper or silver, and what they may be worth.

Coin 1: 1953 50 centavos Brasil
Coin 2: 1951 10 francs republique francais
Coin 3: 1960 1 dong Vietnam cong-hoa
Coin 4: 1954 repulika ceskoslovenska 10
Coin 5: 1959 cinco centavos mexicanos
Coin 6: 1965 1 franc republique francaise
Coin 7: Copper in color, foreign language unknown, shows a man with military medals
Coin 8: 1971 New Pence 2

Any help will be appreciated.

None of those appear to be silver. They seem to be common junk box finds, so I guess their values depends on the dealer. Some price at 3-4 per dollar and some are 10 for a dollar.

Coin 7 may be from Thailand if the fellow is wearing glasses, or maybe Taiwan if not. A picture would get you a quick ID.

en.numista.com is also a good site to browse with a good search function.

I have the 10 francs from France (same date to), but they are made of aluminium bronze and the coins were made from 1950-1959. It's not that valuable. But it does look nice.

You don't mention if it's 10 Haleru (leaves around the value and a star on top) or 10 Koruna. I suppose you have the first one, which is an aluminum coin worth a nickle or dime.
The 10 Koruna coin in 50% silver but not common (Mintage 250K). That would be worth way over its $4.50 bullion value.

In 1960 there has been a currency reform in France, whereby two zeroes were dropped. The 10 Francs coins were demonetized and replaced by a new 10 centimes coin (equal in size). 1951 is the most common year.
