I inherited a bunch of world currency from 1930-60's I know that canadian currency stopped being silver at 68. But idk how to identify if I have early 68 or late. I was looking for a website to help me identify the rest of them so I can keep pick out the silver. some coins are obvious as they are copper looking. Anyways thanks in advance for any help given.

Thank you very much for the info on magnets I did not know that! Its amazing what you can learn 
.
I did this magnet test, and the 3 canadian coins. the two 50 cents pieces and the 25 cent were magnetized. all 4 of the smallest 10 cent piececes that read Juliana honingen der nederlanded were magnetized. the small mexican 10 cent coin was magnetized.
The rest all passed with flying colors. Also of note all the canadian coins that I didnt post a picture of were also magnetized. But my understanding is they were 50% silver based oin what i had read. I have 3 25 cent pieces from 1968. As well as, 7 10 cent pieces from 1968. Is there any way to test them for being 50% silver? Or by being magnetized does that automatically make them non-silver?

Although there are a couple of coins there that had silver predecessors, everything there appears to be nickel or some other non-silver. Would have to know the dates on the French coins and a few others to be sure. Can't help you on the 68 Canadians.
