Both 18 and 91 are correct!  However, 01 is not. Also, please kindly move onto the new page of this thread. Edited by DL20K

Would 50 be from the German Democratic Republic (50 pfennig)?
Also, 26 looks like it would be 1 poltinnik from the Soviet Union.

@dl20k, really cool idea. I'm enjoying watching from the sidelines on this!

I've identified 85 (and 91) long ago, but didn't want to post it directly for some reason. Not sure why.
Wild guess for this post: is 59 from Italy? If so, looks like 100 lire, but can easily be some other denomination.
Another wild guess: is 20 from (I suppose British at that point) India? I just have no idea who else would write their 2 that way.
And I wondered why the 26 seemed familiar - I agree, Soviet poltinnik. (Is 27 another Soviet silver? That 7 style is weird, and I think I recall seeing it on Soviet coins.)
02 and 94 still look familiar, but I was sure 02 is from France, and it apparently isn't. (And I just have no idea for 94 except that I'm sure I've seen that digit position somewhere.)

26 is definitely USSR. Maybe 50 kopeks though, I have 1925 and the 2 is the same.

CalzoneManiac, 46 is not British. Actually, the country has been guessed (Sweden), but not the type. This one is just waiting for someone to read the hints.
Joseph7420, 50 is in fact the GDR 50 pfennig! And 26 is indeed the Soviet silver 50 kopeks.
january1may, 59 is not Italy but it's from a country that borders Italy. 20 is certainly not India, wrong continent even - which country minted coins from a material of this color around 1920? But 27 was the Soviet silver 15 kopeks. Where have you seen 94 - probably in a dealer's junk bin after this coin has been replaced by the euro (the image of this particular date is rotated by 90 degrees, the date is in fact on the side of the reverse not at the top).

Absolutely. 46 is a Swedish 1 kr.

Useless hint time. I hope my data is correct.
02 was minted with a largely unchanged design for over 100 years. Well, there were slight changes in the font and the coat of arms, but nothing more than that. In fact, there's nothing more than that on the coin anyway.
05 has an unusual fractional face value and an unusual shape. Well, at least for us, I suppose it wasn't that unusual for the people who had been using these coins.
06 was minted in Britain but it wasn't used there. The specimen shown here isn't the best representation of the type, in particular the tip of the 6 looks somewhat distorted.
07 was the first year of issue for this design which came in 3 face values. There were two letters separated by a dash below the face value on these coins, while the date was on the other side.
08 is denominated in hellers but 100 of those hellers didn't make up a Krone.
