    Lower right is a 1976 20 drachmai from Greece. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces563.html

    Numista could probably help you identify a lot of the rest. Next one up on the right is a 2 drachmai. Next one up is 20 lira from Italy. New Zealand, UAE and Jamaica are obvious. World coins such as these are fun to look at but there's hardly ever anything of value.

    They are great to look at and searching for some of them and just holding them is great for me

    Cropping made the coin image appear larger in size. It did not increase the size of the image in KB/MB. Resizing and cropping are not the same thing. What I do, on the board where I actually post coins for inquiry, is crop them closely then resize both sides to an image size where one side is 500 pixels, maintaining aspect ratio. If you want to do this, there will be no substitute for learning what these terms mean because that's how most image viewer and modifier software describes them.

    Just got new chromebook, still learning it

    Normally the suggested plan is one coin per pic and thread, but in a mass identification case I can see doing nine at a time in a tic tac toe format. I'd draw the octothorpe # on a piece of paper, lay out nine coins, shoot, flip all in place (careful of alignment--we aren't going to rotate them ourselves), shoot, post the pics. We can probably rip through them if you take good sharp shots, and that would save you a ton of work. If you wanted to do it really smart, you'd sharpie a number in each cell of the octothorpe, so that people could say, "number 4 is an Italian 50 lire" or "number 9 is a Vichy 50 centime piece."

    I actually have several of the same type of coin. 1 may be better than the other. I'm worried about the max size of pic. If it will fit
