Most countries indicate the value of coins through a combination of visual elements such as numbers, symbols, and images. These visual elements are typically printed or stamped onto the coins themselves to denote their denomination. Additionally, countries may use different sizes, shapes, and colors for coins of varying values to help distinguish them easily in everyday transactions. Lastly, some countries may also include text in the form of words or abbreviations to further clarify the value of the coins.
Many countries issue (or used to issue) 1 cent and 2 cent coins. Please post a new question with the coins' country of origin and their dates.
F value is for coins in fine condition.

With the exception of a few very noticeable errors such as broadstruck coins, 99.9999% of bent coins are the result of damage. That makes them worth only their face value or metal value, whichever is higher.
10 coins= 2 fifty cent coins.
Foreign coins usually cannot be used in other countries. You can cash in foreign coins, but you usually only get a fraction of the value when you do.
Today, each gold coin has its own value. In order to give an accurate answer to this question the denomination and date and condition of each of the coins is needed.
The value of coins comes from how old they are, the condition, and the metal they are made from. Some older coins have different faces because the leaders of countries change over time.
If you are asking about melting silver coins in the US, it is not illegal. I think Canada may have laws against it as do many other countries but as of today the USA does not deem it illegal. There is a recent law (regulation by the Mint) that prohibits melting pennies and nickels for their metal value, as the value of the metal exceeds the face value of the coin. You may still use them as artistic material for sculpture, etc. As the Mint does not produce silver coins anymore, they have no interest in those coins. Bullion producers buy them and melt them by the ton.
Old coins from countries or islands that no longer exist can have value to collectors due to their rarity and historical significance. The value of these coins can vary based on factors such as their condition, age, and demand in the numismatic market. It is recommended to consult with a professional coin dealer or appraiser to get an accurate assessment of their worth.
The mint does not drill holes into the coins. If a hole is drilled into a coin it dramatically reduces value. MANY COUNTRIES DRILLED HOLES IN THEIR COINS. THE COINS WERE WORN FOR JEWELRY AND THAT RENDERS THE COIN PRETTY MUCH WORTHLESS.
In 1899 all European countries had a gold currency. The silver and bronze coins for the smaller denominations were 'token' coins in that their metal value was less than their face value. However, in larger quantities they could be changed for gold coins.
The US never made any silver 1 cent coins.
Not for general circulation as the metal is far more valuable the the face value of coins being minted, however silver may be added to very special commemorative coins.
Lincoln cents like this are novelty coins and have no numismatic value, the maps were not applied to the coins by the US Mint. As for value you will have to find someone that wants them or try eBay.
