Lets wait for a few more answers and some better photos of the US coins with readable dates would be nice however as far as I can tell most of this is modern 20th century pocket change so it's value is unfortunately very low.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
as cro321 told most is pocket change.
- check USA/canada coins for silver issues by serching type and year at numista
- other USA/canada than silver have face value
- there are some Euro Coins and coins from switzerland - as pocket change they have face value
- the German Pfennig are exchangeable in germany into Euro, but it is a small value only.
- most other coins are very common and as pocket change without any real value and no longer exchangeable or useable.
- possible that some african coins have small values.
In total the collection does not has a high monetary value, but someone had have fun to collect it. This is most important than any other value.
Practically speaking, it is only worth the (bullion) value of the silver coins, and since you are in the U.S., the face value of the U.S. coins, except possibly for the few large medallic items. Most of the foreign coins are not sellable on eBay, except as a bulk lot, and you would make a few dollars at best.
One idea is to donate the collection to a local coin club, asking that they give it to a young collector.
There isn't much there of numismatic value, but Swis Francs are worth a little more than a $1 each, and the Netherlands note is worth about $13 (face value US). The US silver certificate is only worth about $1. So the set is probably worth about $50.
P.S. It appears someone already removed the valuable coins. I see a spot where at least one Swis gold coin was removed.

Netherlands banknotes and coins are not exchangeable into Euro anymore.
Big greetings.
I look at value for heirs- in my opinion a monument of incalculable value, nice ornament and remembrance is sometimes more than money.
The main thing is to see the creator's interest and his relationship to money.
The magic is whole and framed.

For those who don't know, if you're on a desktop, right click on any image, and select "Open link [not image] in new tab" you'll be able to enlarge and see each image full size.
I agree that there is not much value in the collection. As Mimael and others have pointed out, it's obvious that this was done for fun. Have you noticed that the "capsules" are actually plastic bottle caps?

it works on iPhone as well if you click it and hold it down then click the open button with the safari logo next to it it still works
As far as I can tell, all the silver is in the first set:
Mexican:
- 1 oz Liberty
- Olympic 5 Pesos. A couple years ago, these went for $12-13. Probably a buck more now that silver prices have gone up.
- 50 centavos. Value can vary quite a bit depending on year and condition.
US:
- 1 oz silver eagle
- 1964 half dollar is 40% silver
Non-silver coins with at least some value (>$1):
- Mexican 5000 Pesos -- older circulating commemorative coin worth maybe $3-4
- Swiss francs -- at today's exchange rate, 1 Francs = USD$1.08
- Canadian $2 ~= USD$1.58
- 1 Euro ~= USD$1.13

I had not noticed that the "capsules" on the first frame are actually plastic bottle caps @Camerinvs. Good eye.
I was so appalled at the "Good to Very Good" condition of the banknotes & then seeing tacks used to hold the other coins in place, I hadn't noticed the cap trick. I would not be surprised if the several coins were also glued to the backboard. If the notes weren't in bad enough shape, they'll also exhibit faded fronts (light damage) from being mounted (are they glued in place)? I think you'd be lucky to get FV for most of these.

If the coins in the second frame were glued, as seems likely now that you point it out, Serial_Number_8, the nickel ones should be OK, though worth little if anything above face value, but the brass and copper ones will probably show a corrosion spot once removed, which will make them valueless for a collector.
For sure the person who did this enjoyed it during his lifetime. It probably was a nice conversation piece when guests came over.
