Far left I believe is a cash coin using the seal script writing style. This would be older than the Qing dynasty (1644-1908). My guess is Song dynasty (ca. 900-1100), but I would have to search for a bit to be sure. Song dynasty coins were frequently made of iron... is this one magnetic? It certainly looks to have spots of rust.

Middle one I have never seen before.

Last one I agree is a charm.

- the leftmost coin is medieval Chinese of some kind, the rightmost is probably a charm, the middle I have no idea but probably also some kind of charm.

The leftmost coin is a Zheng He Tong Bao. It looks to be iron and the size of a 3-cash. This one seems to be in pretty good condition, so a value of $10-15 is not unreasonable. The other two are charms that I have no knowledge about. The middle one looks lead, though.
