Almost right, alan_vzla: this is a Swiss coin,not Italian, issued by the Swiss canton of Ticino, the only Italian-speaking canton of Switzerland.
This coin is in Krause as Swiss Cantons/Ticino/3 denari KM#5

The last one on the list is an Irish token, dated 1820 but may have been minted a little later, by the look of it probably a gaming token. The one above would be an American cival war token with the USS Monitor being an Ironclad ship

#20 is indeed a Civil War Token (Patriotic type). These tokens are identified by die pair (catalogued by father/son George and Melvin Fuld). Your token is Fuld 239/422a where "a" indicates Copper. Your token is rarity level R2.

#21 is actually a Canadian token. The originals were issued in 1825 in copper, but dated 1820 to avoid a law prohibiting the import of private tokens. Imitations were issued in brass and copper from 1826-1835 and vary in workmanship and weight. Several varieties are listed in Charlton's 'Canadian Colonial Tokens'

#19 is a Civil War Token (Store Card) -- NY 890B-9b. 890 is the town code for Troy. B refers to the Oliver Boutwell token. 9 is the variety (There are 37 different varieties which are combinations of Obverse and Reverse dies.) Your combination is Obverse 4 and Reverse 6 -- which taken as a pair is variety 9. "b" indicates that this particular store card is Brass. NY 890B-9b is a rarity level R1.

I should also mention that REDEEMED AT MY OFFICE 1863 is considered the Reverse. In my previous post on the Patriotic Civil War Token, I neglected to mention that the 1863 side is considered the reverse.

Despite the reference to New York, #18 is a Hard Times Token from Attleboro, Mass. It is catalogued by Rulau as HT #152 (aka Low 75). It is rarity level R2

#Rdwarrior: the date on the 10 qirsh (or piastres) of Egypt #10 is the accession date of sultan Abdul Hamid II (1293AH or 1876). Also on the coin is the number '30', referring to the regnal year of the sultan, being 1322AH, which corresponds with 1904AD

Number 4 is a generic Masonic Token. The "One Penny" side is very similar to die #56, but that die photo does not show the ring. The other side appears to made from die #54.

Number 6 - Celluloid Starch Token - Id Nhv23, value $2.50 in F, $4.00 in VF

Number 15 - Hard Times token W/Andrew Jackson - id HT69, R1 (common), issued 1837, value in VG $5, VF $20
