What information are you looking for? To identify relatively modern foreign coins, the Maktun or Coinoscope phone apps can help. The traditional way is to look through Krause World Coin catalogs (your library might have these). There are articles on the internet on how to grade coins. As for value, most relatively modern foreign coins have low value (say 10 to 50 cents each), but there are some exceptions. The NGC site (https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/) can give you "book" values, which are often higher than market values. For more valuable items, the best source of accurate prices may be looking through ebay for sold examples.

It's a great chance to learn some history and geography, and to imagine who might have used the coins and what it was like there at that time.

@cha, first welcome to CCF. Second, I would second @see's recommendation about starting with the coin-o-scope app. If you get stumped, then of course please feel free to post those ones here. Please just start a new thread for each new coin. Also, please include overall pics of both sides plus the weight and diameter. Thx.
