Each of these can be traded for a piece of an image (1 of 16, the image was broken into a grid 4 by 4) featuring a bumblebee, a Frenchman in front of the Eiffel Tower holding a glass of water next to water (with arrows pointing to both waters), a pirate with a blank word balloon, and a picture of Ren and Stimpy with an arrow pointing to Ren. See below. Pronouncing these, you get bee, eau, arr, Ren = B, O, R, N = BORN.
