Hello! These pictures are of coins that have been in my family for a while, but no one seems to know the story behind them or what they are exactly. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome!
For best results with identification requests the weight to the nearest tenth of a gram and the dimensions of the coin in mm should be posted.

Having said that it's sometimes possible, though more difficult, to identify coins without this information.

The first coin is India, Delhi Sultanate, Islam Shah, Paisa, Kalpi mint, with a visible date of AH 956. Similar to this example dated AH 955:

The third coin is from India, likely Malwa Sultanate, which made many rectangular coins, though there are some rectangular coins from other issuers. Without weight and dimensions it's difficult to identify. Second photo should be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.
