These coins are perfectly fine to use, as far as I know. Sometimes I find ones from the 1960s or 1970s in my change pile. No difference really, between those and ones from 2012 - except maybe some design changes.
The quarter is worth .25 or 1/4 of a US dollar.
The dime is worth .10 or 1/10 of a US dollar.
The pennies are worth .01 or 1/100 of a US dollar.
So total, you have $0.39 cents (USD). For reference, the US Forever stamp is worth about $0.45 right now. I suppose you could include all of these coins (or a few of them) with your request, but it's really up to the person on the other end. They'd have to notice the stamp value and that it isn't quite enough, and then place more on it. Does that make sense? I'm not sure what would happened if they didn't; probably bounce back to them.
Let me know if you have more questions.
