Please let me know the country of origin, what it's called, why it was made, the value, and other information. I also posted this in the Tokens forum just so that more people might be able to help me out. Thanks so much!!

Here's some info on a few of them:

at 01:45

The medal says
"III Preis Sportpl. Neukirchen Flieger Rennen 04."
which would mean approximately as follows:
(Awarded for the) 3rd prize at the race held at the Neukirchen arena in 1904.

at 04:15

This is one of the hyperinflation commemorating tokens.
It says what the prices of goods such as 1 pound of bread, 1 pound of meat, and 1 glass of beer were on November 1, 1923.

at 04:30

Yes, this is an actual coin.
Germany (Empire), 10 pfennig 1873, D mintmark.
Decent condition, these coins from the 1870s are usually much more worn than that!

at 05:00

This just says Christmas 1980, Peace on earth, and Church in Altenkirchen on Ruegen.
Ruegen is a large island in Germany. See Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCgen

at 05:45

You have some sort of modern reproduction (you can see the 1973 by the cross) of a medieval German coin called "grossus misnensis". These were minted in the 14th and 15th century. No idea what it's called in English.

at 09:00 (set of three)

The first is the same as 05:45 (with the additional 1973 date).
The second is another reporduction of a different type (the cam didn't focus that well though - can't read the legend around the cross).
The third one is yet another reporoduction, but a much more "edited" one. It reads Central coin show 1979 around the cross.

at 09:25

Another one of the hyperinflation commemorating tokens. This time the prices are for 1 pound of bread, 1 pound of meat, and 1 goldmark, and the date given is December 1, 1923.

the last one

This is a token from Hamburg, it says it was Minted in 1979. Around the face value of 50 (no currency given) it says This token will be taken as payment in Posemuckel in Hamburg only.

So you took my advice! My favorite of the bunch is the 1873 coin!
