First coin is "boratynka" - solidus of Jan Kazimierz, king of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth.. but it is for 99% forgery from epoca.
Forgery of "szelag koronny"

Second coin and third are some kind of Hungary coins.

There was about 1 800 000 000 of boratynki minted in XVII century. but about 300 000 000 was minted as.. "forgery" in XVII century. They looks different in most cases. But sometimes the almost the same:

@RyanS, if you can get please post clearer pics of the two Hungarian coins, I might be able to help you with an attribution. Many, but not all, of these are dated.
