Someone gave me these coins awhile back and I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on what they might be. I think some are fantasy coins, but others don't have that look. There are seven coins and the pictures are presented as one side and the other subsequently for each coin.

The last coin is the only real one, but it is worth nothing because of the damage.

Petrus got it wrong. It is a Dao Guang Tong Bao from ca 1820-1851 AD or so.

Yes correct. I enhanced the picture and looked at it better.

Even without damage is the value low

They are all fake/fantasy, from what I can tell, except for the cash coin at the bottom - which with the "second hole" isn't going to be worth much to a collector.

#1 and #6 are fakes, as others have pointed out.

#2 through to #5 are "fantasy dollars" - there never were genuine coins that looked like these, not on both sides anyway (though the dragon-side for #5 is similar to a design used on a genuine coin). They commemorate either old emperors of China (#5 commemorates the first Qing emperor, the Tian Ming emperor Nurhaci) or famous people from Chinese history and mythology.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
