    If a magnet picks them up they are NOT silver. Other than that, I can't help.

    Depending on the year is the tell tail sign of the material of the coin. I've researched a lot of foreign coins on the net. Look for these coins history. You will find a lot about them after your research is done. Also testing with a magnet will not always result with the coins metallurgy. Acid testing is the only true way to test for precious metals.

    They look like they might be Turkish 5 Para coins. There's a good chance they are nickel.

    They are Egyptian, Probably KM#304. Hard to tell the dates without better picture. Made of nickel and probably worth about $1 each.
