These are just a few coins that I am completely clueless about because I don't really have any World Coin books. I believe one is from some country in Asia and one is from some Latin American country. Any help on what countries these coins are from?

The copper one is an Ireland penny (KM #3), mintage 5.5M, which has a book value of $1 in VF.
The other is Philipines, and the small one looks very familiar but I'll let someone else answer.

The smallest coin is a Moroccan 10 Santimat 1974 FAO issue. Y #60 About 68,000,000 minted and worth 15 cents at best.

The larger Philippine Piso is KM #203. About 122,000,000 minted and worth about a quarter.

I have about 100 of the smaller ones. I didn't expect that to be from Morocco and I expected a huge mintage, lol.

The Irish penny is in Gaelic, the ancestral Irish tongue which is why it is not easily recognizable. However, the key indicator is the harp. It is to Irish coinage what the heraldic eagle motif is to US coinage.
