How can I find out if some old ww2 bills and coins from france and Germany I have are worth anything?

title says it all. Got the stuff from my best friend's grandpa and wou't mind selling some but not all of it for a profit.

You could go to a local library and get a copy of Krause's "World Coins" for the values of your items. This is a standard reference for world coins and might mention the currency.

If I have a large number of Euro coins, what is the easiest way to convert them to notes or other currency?

I am minutes from France & Germany, but I've never figured out what to do with my coins that I've inadvertently collected and wondered if there is something similar to coinstar in France or Germany for Euro coins?

Coinstar operates its coin counting machines in two European countries: in the UK, where over 800 of its machines (as of late 2007) can count coins in Pence/Pounds, and in Ireland, where their machines can count Cents/Euros:

Otherwise, the already-offered suggestion about selling these coins online is a good one. eBay regularly features auctions of banknotes and coins from people who've acquired them in other countries, then brought them back home and want to dispose of them. The Coins & Paper Money Coins: World - Collections, Lots category is the most frequently used for these sales (as are the "Collections, Lots" category for US and Canadian coins for those wishing to dispose of those).

Of course, most bidders will want to buy the lot for somewhat under its face value, and factor in shipping costs into the equation as well, so you'll receive less than exchange value. Still, I've been surprised by just how often sellers of lots of these types realize at least half-way respectable prices. It doesn't happen every time, but enough to make this a worthwhile sales option.

Finally, if you're truly just minutes away from two Euro-using countries, perhaps just save up the higher denomination coins and use them on your next trip there? The smaller coins, if they're not worth your while, might make a fun gift for a small child in your family or circle of friends, assuming they're old enough, both not to swallow them and to enjoy playing with them! Kids can use them for everything from playing at shopping at the market to filling pirate chests, to skimming them at one another across the floor.

Why is an oak twig depicted on the 1, 2 and 5 euro cent coins issued by Germany?

Because the oak tree is the national plant of Germany. It symbolises Germany the way Laurel leaves do Italy and the Lily France.

There is a saying that goes "stark wie deutsche Eiche" (strong as German oak). Oak was among the trees that were sacred to the old Germanic tribes, the "Thing" (tribe assembly and legal council) was commonly held under an oak or a linden tree.
