I have these 4 coins that I don't know anything about and would like to know your opinions. Should I hang on to any of these or give them to my nephew which he will eventually lose?

I count 5 coins in those pictures...

If for you the only reason you'd keep them is if they're valuable, then no, there's nothing too rare there.

The Arabic one is from Egypt; it's a 5 milliemes of 1973. KM 432, CV 10¢ in VF.

The diamond-shaped Bahamas 15¢ is interesting enough if you want to start an "odd shapes" coin collection, but not too rare. They were actually made for circulation, with a mintage of over a million that year - quite high for such a small country. KM 5, CV $1 in Unc.

The black one is a 1 cent from the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. Interesting enough, if WWII or Nazi puppet states are your thing. It's black and crumbly because it's made of zinc, like most Nazi-occupied coinage is. KM 170, CV 50¢ in VF.

The Spanish 10 centimos looks a bit pale; it may have been cleaned at some stage? KM 675, CV 75¢ in Fine.

Great Britain farthing: 1938 is actually the scarcest year for this type, but that doesn't really affect the price. KM 843, CV 60¢ in EF.

You could give him an album to keep them in...

OOps, I forgor the diamond shaped coin. It's 1969 Bahama Islands fifteen cents. I'm holding on to this one because I don't see a fifteen cent coin every day and the unusual shape. Also holding on to the Nazi occupied coin.

Thanks again Sap!

GO, nice seeing you around again. I'll send you the Bronze spanish coin for any dated Buffalo nickel deated between 1913 and 1927.
