Luus, yolandamaria d and everyone else.
Don't listen to people who say they are worthless. It is true that these coins are not considered old but that means nothing.
a 1991 Canadian quarter is $6.00 in uncirculated
a 1968 Canadian quarter is $0.85 in uncirculated
True you may not be rich but 20 coins worth $5.00 each is a hundred bucks.
Here is what you need to do.
1. Make a list of what you have.
2. Take good pictures if you can.
3. Ask a coin expert who is NOT a dealer to help you.
4. Check eBay.
If you want post the list on this site and they will help they do that all the time.

Honey, how old are you to think that 1952 is old? I've a coin from 1780, and that's considered but adolescent.
But seriously, that recent a coin, it's not worth anything. You could keep it, or sell it really cheap to someone looking to invest in the future. In, say, another hundred years or so, it MAY be worth something. But you do have collectors for odd coins, even if they don't bring a lot of money. Africa changes it's countries borders so much, someone may be interested simply in the country itself. Or, coming from experience, I love foreign coins, especially those with coats of arms on them. If they've interesting pictures, someone may want them, too. Your best bet is eBay, but don't expect a lot. Do a search on there first, and if you can't find them, then start the bid at $0.01. You may get $1, $5, but I seriously doubt you'll get more. Which is a shame, really. Just think, if someone had thought ahead and KEPT those copper pennies from 1943, instead of the steel ones.

If they are useless, which they probably are, they may be of value to some charities, I can't remember which ones, but I think we used to take old coins to Thomson Holidays travel agents and then they would give them to charities.

try a coin dealer...
though yours aren't that old, they should be worth something... depending on the quality of the coin.
