How to identify, clean and "catalog" coins?

I want to start collecting coins and I already have a few, So I wanted to find out how to clean them identify them and then catalog, Also what other things would I or should I have to do before I actually "catalog" them? * when I say catalog I mean actually put them in a folder and write it down etc.*, Finally I also want to collect bills like paper money I have a canadian dollar bill lying around my house and my grandma passed away and we found a Chilean bill which reads "Banco central de Chile" and on the bottom "Un Escudo" It appears that it is 1 dollar of sorts *it’s in terrible condition*. So basically how would I go about cleaning, identifying, preserving and cataloging money in general. Anything you want to add like tips, Advice for getting more coins anything goes as long as it is relevant to coin collecting and maybe money collecting or collecting in general. please answer *I have been posting questions for a while and they seem to go unanswered* Excuse my grammar.
thanks Ohno but If I took clear pictures of each coin I have both sides and such would you be able to grade them like all I want to know is if they’re worth a signifigant amount of money b4 I clean them so could you
