    It's hard to research what you cannot even spell.

    A few I think are Crete, some maybe Greece?

    Can anyone tell me year and place of origin on each? Such as the war-themed one, yellow one, purple one, blue, men throwing, etc?

      Just had my Greek-American friend look at these, and here's what i got:

      pic. 1:
      Brown stamp: Greece, 2700 drachmas (old Greek money before euro)
      Yellow stamp: Greece, 5 drachmas
      Brown: Greece, 300 drachmas. Image of a famous person Eleftherios Venizelos.
      Red: 1300 Drachmas (couldn't read bottom)

      Pic 2:
      Pink: Greece, 20 Leptas (old Greek money before euro). Image of Hermes holding a caduceus.

      Pic 3: same thing on both, where ELLAS=Greece, DPAXMAI=Drachma

      Pic 4: Greece, 20 Leptas. Image of Zeus.
