Unfortunately, with these pictures and next to no other information, it is impossible to tell if these are fake or not. They need to be re taken individually outside of the album pockets, and preferably outside of the 2x2's as well.

Need to know:
1. Weight of each piece, preferably accurate to .01 of a gram.
2. Pictures good enough to examine the details closely to determine the quality of the strike (or cast?) and any possible differences in style of the details, against known genuine coins.
3. Pictures of the edges good enough to compare to known genuine coins.
4. Comparative ring tone against known genuine coins.
5. Measurements of diameters and thicknesses, preferably accurate to .01 of a mm.

If this information is hard or impossible to provide, take them to a museum or experienced coin dealer.

Your attitude is correct in having some doubt as to if they are fake or not; the Chinese have a bad reputation for faking coins of their own country as well as those of other countries.

Thanks for you answer. Yes I was thinking to buy them but I didnt want to take the risk. There are too many fakes out there.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately, all of the coins posted look fake.
They look like the fakes mass-produced in China.

Agreed; they are the typical mixture of "common" dollars, extra-super-rare patterns and fantasy medals you often find all mixed up together and offered for sale. None are likely to be genuine.
