Coins from Europe

[discovery_bound]

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about coins from Germany, Belgium, and the Nederlands. (Pfenings, Francs, and Gilder) For some odd reason I've kept a couple of bags of change from when I was stationed in Germany. It's all before the Euro, even though I still have about $38 in change from that as well. The earliest coin I've come across so far is 1949, and several 1950's. I'm sure not worth anything, but curious as to what they are made of or if there are any rare dates to watch for. I've tried to do a few searches over the internet, but haven't came back with anything too helpful as of yet. Any info is always appreciated, thanks!

off-hand, I can not think of any coins from those dates worth anything. All were made of cheap metal. No silver.

The composition is not the only measurement of value.
