Unless they're silver, probably not much. U.S. dimes, quarters, and half-dollars pre-65 are worth several times face value for the silver in them. Kennedy half dollars from 65 to 70 are 40 percent silver, and are worth a little something, maybe enough to buy you a beer or two.

If they're fun, though, hang on to them. Could be incorporated in a necklace, jewelry, charm bracelet, or some craft project, or just a fun conversation piece. I bought an old briefcase at a rummage sale and found inside it a 1967 dime from Trinidad and Tobago. Not worth anything, but how many of those have you ever seen? I had fun with it for a while.
