Cache of European coins, fairly recent, found in desk

[WilliamBoyd]

My sister is an elementary school teacher in California.

Just before last Christmas she was asked to clean out the desk
of a teacher who had retired.

She found this bunch of (mostly) pre-Euro European coins dating
from the 1970's and 1980's (no silver).

The retired teacher didn't want them, my sister has no interest
in coins, so she gave them to me.

I suspect they are souvenirs from the teacher's trips.

I am not sure what to do with them.
I suppose most are valueless as they have been replaced by the Euro.

Countries represented:

United Kingdom, the George VI florin is from 1949
Spain, Franco and Juan Carlos
Portugal
Denmark
Norway
Germany, oldest is 1949

Japan
Bermuda
Canada

Also included was a token "No Cash Value".

I've got a ton of that stuff from work and vacation visits to Europe. Always kept it separated in plastic bags by country, loaded my luggage with the appropriate bags before each trip. Still filling up a drawer upstairs.
