Usually called, in UK anyway, drawing pins because they were originally designed for holding drawings onto a board, but not impeding the use of a rule or square.

small pins/tacks with a large head that you push in with your thumb ,hence the name
they come in all colours but originally they were all brass

little sharp things that you can use to hang things up and whatnot. they're like little nails kinda. they're called thumb tacks because you don't need a tool, you just use your thumb to push them in.
