Posting a few coins at a time is a big help; your images are good but some coins are not well lit.

Most/all of the round cash coins are Vietnamese from the 1800s. Try here for a start:

The large oval coin is Japanese, Tempo Tsuho 100 mon, 1830s-60s. Fakes exist, but genuine pieces are very common too. All genuine pieces should have very smooth fields, sharp even lettering, and two stamps at 3 and 9 o'clock
Two of mine for comparison:

The others I can't comment on, but my gut tells me they are fantasy pieces or charms. Similar pieces from Japan are called e-sen, and are usually pictorial and come in round, ovoid, or rectangular shapes. They are quite rare.
