Don's World Coin Gallery (as linked to by Gforce) is relatively comprehensive, at least as far as the cheaper, commoner and more recent world coins are concerned. If it circulated within the past 150 years, it's probably on Don's site. From the main page, there's also a link to his identification assistance pages, which can help you tell what country a coin is from if it isn't obvious at first glance.
Numismaster is the website maintained by the people that make the Krause catalogues. It's more comprehensive than WCG, but the search engine is a bit unwieldy. If you want to look up catalogue values and mintage figures, you have to subscribe.
Never underestimate the power of Google. Type in the text you can read (if it's foreign text, type in letters that are close to what you think it looks like) and you'll probably find people talking about or selling similar coins, somewhere.
And if you can't find what you want to know, post pics in the ID Required section of this forum, and someone can probably help you.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
