Most coins of circulated types from the last eighty years are of very little value, I was sorry to find out. We had about three kilos of them handed down in a shoebox from my father in law, including some interesting prewar francs, some Japanese Occupation army scrip, a whole kaboodle of pence and shillings, and some Chinese coins from before the Revolultion; somehow none of them appraised for much. We gave them to my son for safekeeping to start his son's collection, if he grew up to be interested.
