spaceman is right on A -- i think itally specifically - should have month and date codes on reverse

J. Old Japanese 50 yen. The circulating version of the 50 yen now has a hole in it.
P. & Q. read kandou keikaku in Japanese, which means, roughly, "sensational plan." I can't imagine what the purpose is for the coin. Anything different on the opposite sides or is Q the reverse of P?

K. is Korean, coincidentally, but Sum Ting Wong...LOL.
L. is a Japanese 1 yen, dated the 24th year of the Showa Emperor.

So, using what we've heard so far, and a little more of my own knowledge...

C, D, G, I. I see these everywhere. Some dirt cheap, some VERY pricey.
H, O. What in the world could these be? I wouldn't call them coins or tokens... Tools, maybe. Might want to Call George Jetson and ask him to reference Cogsley's Cog Catalog.
P, Q. Asian tokens…

What is N? And what more can be understood about CDGI, HO, PQ? Or even A?

The same both sides. Found this on Google. http://www.lang-8.com/eugeniavlasova/journals/1266544/Japanese-coin

I asked a Chinese friend about C. & D. His response below:

These were the Qing Dynasty (清朝) copper coins; but I think they may be fake one. It belongs to two emperors.

More info from my helpful Chinese friend:
FYI
The upper one (C) is at the dynasty of 乾隆 (year 1711-1799, the sixth emperor of Qing). The lower one (D) is at the dynasty of 康煕 (year 1662-1722; the fourth emperor of Qing). These were the strongest power of Qing Dynasty.

B. 250 Rials (not 25)
D. definitely fake.
G. another Chinese cast Cash, looks real
H. Token (the strange shape was a type of security feature)
I. China, machine struck Cash, Kwangtung province,(replaced the cast versions)
N. Syria, 5 Piastre, AH1396=1976
P.Q. Japanese Tokens (Pachinko perhaps)
One More. China-Republic, Yr 25=1936. Need diametor or other side to determine denomination.

The Arab coin with the hole is a Syrian 5 Piastres (obsolete due to inflation I believe).
