None of the UK cicrulation coins post 1947 have silver; the silver coloured ones are cupro-nickel so may still be worth saving.
In pic one there is a silver coloured coin marked 1969 with the Queen on it - is it a 2 shilling? Probs worth $5 or so.
Any of the bronze copper coloured UK coins pre: 1991 are worth holding for their copper content of 97%.
Pic 3 does indeed show a one pound coin in the bottom row, this is still valid, so is worth a whole pound!
Quick fact: 1 in 40 British pound coins is counterfeit.
