Saudi Arabia 10 Halala 1976
China Republic (Taiwan) 5 Yuan 1994
South Korea 100 Won 2005
South Korea 500 Won 1984
Japan 100 Yen 1971
Thailand 5 Baht 1993

They are all still circulating coinage (and no silver for melt). Even if you could cash them in at current exchange rates the whole lot comes to $2. Sorry.

Clearer pictures would help (like the original post).

But in the first set, left hand side I can see top to bottom, 5, 5, 1 and 10 Baht. Again only face values for them, so very little.

By uspi I assume you mean US Philippines? Again a picture of the 1903 would help to grade and value it.

I am uploading a bigger picture sorry if some are not so clear I just realize that coin picture taking is hard.
I don't know if they are worth something...some dated back in middle of 1800's I am not quite sure of the year
I also included my 2 five cents with 1903 dates on it
I also have another five coin which doesn't have any dates on it and lastly I have a brown coin which dated 1944 but why its front face like that...

The 73rd year of the Republic of China translates to the year 1984 (not 1994).

I'm not an expert on the world coins, but most of the coins at the bottom are from the Philippines from when they were a US territory. It's hard to see, but they look to all be common dates. Do any of them have an M on the coin (like the Five Centavos has an S at about 7:00 on the front)? Most of these coins were made at the Denver or San Francisco mint, but a branch mint was opened in Manila, and those coins carry a premium. Otherwise, all denominations above 5 centavos are silver (I think 75%) and worth a dollar or two each.

The coin on the bottom is a one centavo coin. One side is smooth because somebody ground it off, most likely to make a Magician's coin or jewelry piece. An intact specimen is worth less than $1.

As for your other coins, the modern Asian coins are probably worth their exchange rate, and the rest of the coins are probably worth in the $0.50-$3.00 range.
