Can anyone help me identify these coins? I'm looking for anything you can give me (KM#s, which country they are from, years and denominations). I know that coins 4 and 5 are the same but again, if possible, I'd like to know the years. Thanks in advance!

...and in case you're still scratching your head about when that cash coin was made...

The Qian Long emperor ruled from 1735 to 1796. Cash coins normally can't be dated any more accurately than that.

G'day, re the PRC coin: the coat of arms shows a building, under the five stars.
The building is Tian-An-Men, the Gate to the eye of Heaven. It was the entrance to the Forbidden City, and dates back to the 1420s. To the south of Tian-An-Men, the building, is Tian-An-Men Square, a 60-acre plaza. On the west side of the Square is the Great Hall of the People, and to the east, the National Museum. At the southern end of the Square, is Mao's tomb.
It is a little surreal to stand in the Square, facing north, and hold a coin up, to compare the image to the reality. I like the Chinese coat of arms, for that reason.
