Depends on what size they are and how hard to germinate...at least 10- 25
so there's a good chance of getting plants from them.  I'd want more of the
dust sized seed and less if they are larger and of known ease of
germination....more if they are tough to germinate.  Not a precise answer,
I'm afraid.  Can't think when I'd ever need 200 seeds of anything as I'm
not in the nursery business....but, again, 200 dust sized seed are only a
pinch.

If they're healthy, they never go on the compost.  If I can't use them, I
give them away or take them to a plant exchange.
