@davidc, it would be much easier if you posted pics of individual coins, both front and back. With only this one pic, the job of dating your coins is confusing and eye-straining.

Ok much easier now on my eyes. The first 10 Sen was minted under Emperor Yoshihito (1912-1926). Yours is a year number 3, which corresponds to 1914 AD.

Second one is year 29 of Emperor Mutsuhito (1896 AD)
Third one is year 4 of Emperor Yoshihito (1915 AD)

Fourth one is year 20 of Emperor Hirohito (1946 AD), but I can't find it in the main part of my Krause to confirm. It does look very similar to several 50 Sen pattern coins from the time of WWII, but I'm not confident about this one. Hopefully, one of our Asia experts can weigh in.

The emperor names and era names are sometimes different which makes it a little confusing, similar to the ancient Chinese emperor naming system.

Just a note on Emperor's names. In Japan, the family name is first, then the given name(unless you have Anglicized it). Also, on coins, it's the emperor's family name that is marked.
So Meiji Mutsuhito is #26126;#27835; #30566;#20161;. It's #26126;#27835; marked on the coin, so the correct name and date for an 1896AD coin is year 29, Emperor Meiji.
Taisho Yoshihito is #22823;#27491; #22025;#20161;. #22823;#27491; is marked on the coin, so 1914AD coin is year 3, Emperor Taisho
Showa Hirohito is #26157;#21644;#22825; #35029;#20161;. #26157;#21644;#22825; is marked on the coin, so 1938AD coin is year 12, Emperor Showa. Interestingly, he is mostly known by "Hirohito" outside of Japan, but in Japan he is always named as Showa.

The fourth coin is Showa (Hirohito) 12, as Numister mentioned. (10 & 2 =12) If it was 2 & 10 it would be year 20.

I have generally found the coins to be more open to the idea if you take them out to dinner first.
