The first one is from Korea. Specifically, South Korea. 10 won. Korean script is easy to distinguish from Chinese and Japanese by the little circles or ovals you often find in the characters; Japanese and Chinese coins rarely if ever use characters like this on coins.

The second coin is indeed from Jordan; the denomination is 100 fils, as it says. The date is written in Arabic numerals: 1975, and 1395 in the Islamic calendar. The portrait is the king, who in 1975 was King Hussein.

Thanks Sap! always had difficulty if it's Korean, japanese,chinese or taiwanese. The hint about the ovals is great! that leaves me confused with only the three.

Thanks too for the Jordan ID
