The best bet would be to get a World Coin Book, which I don't have. The second best thing would be too google each coin and see what the production numbers and composition is. Sorry I can't be more help.

I tried to google each coin, but i only know what a very few are. The other ones i have no idea what they are, so i am not sure what to look for.

Go to numista.com, you can look up the coins there. I don't believe any of the coins shown have any silver in them, unless one of them is a commemorative. A good rule of thumb, is the same as to use with most US coins, after the midsixties most countries had stopped using much silver in their coins.

Also, the US for many years put a higher silver content in our coinage. Most foreign 20th-century silver coinage had the same composition as our war nickels, about 40%.

I see you have a few British coins among them, none containe Silver, Silver was removed from British Coins from 1947.

No matter how much silver they contain you still have some neat coins there..

Nope, no silver from the looks of it. Here is a good online source to check world coins- World Coin Gallery
