There's 2 charts you can download here: Arabic and Japanese numbersThose might help you with denominations and dates but if you upload pictures then perhaps we can help you figure out the countries. | ||

If you look at this Japanese One Yen Coin that kaija added you'll see 6 kanji (characters) beneath the number 1. The 3rd, 4th and 5th kanji show 4 10 6, so that's the 46th year of the Showa era. | ||
