The first coin is definitely not a genuine coin. It is a typical Chinese copy of a late Imperial dollar.
The second coin worries me too, though I am less certain about it. The Chinese are not making copies of scarcer low-denomintion Straits coins, but I have seen several locally-produced fakes from your part of the world. Can you find out how much it actually weighs?

It's supposed to be, yes, but if genuine it's certainly worth more than the $6.20 in silver it's supposed to contain. 1907 is the scarcest date in this short series. NGC page.
