 Any of this worth anything or interesting in any way?

Check to see if any of them are silver and check the prices on ebay to see which coins are commanding a premium. |

They look too modern to be silver. Judging on Elizabeth II portraits, Euro (2?) cent (I think), Aruba copper-nickel, Italian (?) steel, Mexican brass...you can always check ebay, or look up the values in Krause. I wish I could help you out more, but the picture is too small and only a few dates can I make out (the 20 pence I believe is a 2011 issue?) However, great find! Would love to find such a bag! (Probably someone back from vacation, or someone who'd vacationed a few years ago...but it also could be some weird collection dump (if it is an Italian coin, it's now demonetized, and thus not a vacation coin received in change) |

There's nothing silver there, or particularly old. Most valuable: the two yellowish ones in the centre are British £1 coins, I believe - they look a bit too worn/damaged for a collector to want to pay more than face for them, but "face" isn't too shabby, GB£1 = US$1.70 at current exchange rates. If you don't want them, moneychangers won't take 'em, but you might find a coin dealer or a friend/relative who is going there who will exchange them for near-face.

How did you acquire these from Coinstar and how much did you pay for it? I have not heard of such a transaction...above the table anyway.
They appear to be all moderns.

I always check the coinstar discard tray when I'm at the grocery store; this particular trip this bag was just sitting on the ledge. I'm not sure why someone left it, but whatever... Thanks for the insight guys.

Looks like a silver French franc piece to the left. See if it's 1921 or earlier, that's when the silver went out.

The Mexican coin looks to be 50 centavos, and worth maybe four cents on a good day. I used to encounter these in the days when I would walk across the border into Nogales.

Mostly UK; I do not see anything Italian there (could be eyesight and/or image size though) but the coins from Belgium and France are pre-euro too and can no longer be redeemed. The pieces on the outside, roughly between 6 and 7 o‘clock, seem to be Swiss, Belgian and Russian. The Mexican piece seems to be the older 50c coin indeed ...
