Mainly just trying to see what metal these 4 coins are made from. If I had the country and year I can figure that out...I think.

Not sure of the country. It looks like they are bronze unless they are attracted to a magnet, which would make them steel.

King Farouk from Egypt (1938 or 1941) for this coin (KM-364). If photo was larger I could tell which. Common stuff, and these are 5.55g of copper-nickel.

I think Eric is right. The Egyptian ones are from the old monarchy - the Israeli one is still current worth roughly a quarter.
