I'm going to add the identifications here when they are posted
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#1 Telephone Token ?
#4 Germany/Wallau IKEA 1 pfennig Token.
#9 Denmark Token.
#12 Germany Medal commemorating THE German poet Goethe and his most important opus "Faust" and its premiere in 1829.
#14 USSR Medal included in a mint set produced at Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) mint.
#15 Germany Medal commemorating Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama.
#16 Austria Maria Theresia.
#17 Austria Maria Theresia.
#19 Germany/Bavaria Beer Token from Passau City Brewery.
#20 Denmark Token.
#21 British 19th Century Card Game Counter also discussed here and here.
#31 China Bus Token.
#33 Germany Medal. Monogram of artist Albrect Durer, which also appears on the 1971 commemorative 5 marks. The fellow on the other side is probably Durer himself; it's probably a small commemorative medal rather than a token.
#36 Germany Plastic Replica of German 2 euro cents. Playmoney?
#41 Germany Beer Token (proof of purchase needed to redeem the pawn paid for a beer crate).

#14 is a token included in a USSR (Russian) mint set produced at Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) mint. On the obverse it's the monogram, the mintmark, of the mint.

#16 & 17 are Austrian, both feature Maria Theresia, but I cam't see what event they are dedicated to.

#21 was discussed here. There's another link to an older thread there for more info.

#36 is a (off-metal) replica of German 2 euro cents.

I have one just like #4. It's from Ikea, the Swedish furniture superstore. Mine is from the store in Wallau, a village on the outskirts of Frankfurt. It's designed to resemble a 1 pfennig coin.

#9 and #20 are from Denmark; "spillemaerke" is Danish for "token".

#15 appears to be in German, but commemorating Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama.

#19 is a Bavarian beer token, from the Passau city brewery.

#31 is a Chinese bus token.

The logo on #33 is the monogram of artist Albrect Durer, which also appears on the 1971 commemorative 5 marks. The fellow on the other side is probably Durer himself; it's probably a small commemorative medal rather than a token.
