What toast said. 
The lion-and-heart coin is Iran, from the monarchy period (the lion-and-sun badge is the symbol for the Iranian monarchy). It's a 50 dinars, of the type issued 1936-1953 AD; we'd need a closeup of the "heart"-side to pick the date.
The Chinese one is a provincial silver, most likely a 10 cent piece, and should have the name of the province, in English, above the dragon's head. The "candareen" is an old Chinese unit of weight. Can you give us a more closeup pic or tell us what else it says around the dragon?
The Freedom/No Cash Value token is a generic amusement/vending token, made to operate various kinds of token-operated machines - anything from washing machines to arcade games.
