Can I get a lil info on these? If they would be worth holding on to, or what I could get for them? Also, I have over 100 of these and am wondering why are they all from 1930? Every single one.

They're coins from Luxembourg. Coins from this tiny country aren't common, but aren't usually very expensive. The mintage was 5 million each, and the catalogue value for them is about 50 cents each, in that condition. The value tops out at $4 in Unc.

Luxembourg is a small country with a small economy; it doesn't need to make new coins of each denomination every year. 1930 was the only year 5 and 10 centime coins with these designs were issued, and it was the last year coins of these denominations were issued.

It's not a coincide they're all dated 1930, because both the 5c and 10c were minted just one year.
5c is KM#40, 5M mintage, Krause lists $2 in EF.
10c is KM#41, 5M mintage, Krause lists $2 in EF.

Thanks for the info ya'll. I have 117 of them. I just wanted to find out if I would end up regreting it if I got rid of them. Maybe use them for a trade or something.

You're lucky. For a long time, I wondered why it was that almost every Spanish coin I encountered was dated 1957...

Luxembourg does actually issue each denomination every year (and not just for sets but also for circulation). But yes, back in those days they didn't - also because the country had a monetary union with Belgium, and between 1921 and 2002 Belgian franc cash could be used in Luxembourg too ...
