The first two coins (with multiple images), at least, are fakes.

Best to post one coin per thread. We will need weight, and you need to try the tissue test and magnet test.

Whatever type of metal your "fakes" are made from they are "rusting". Probably will stick to a magnet.

Agree. The first two (?) coins are steel counterfeits, which is why they are rusting. Try putting them close to a magnet; I bet they'll stick very strongly.

The last coin is a Hong Kong $2 coin, I believe. It's so badly battered - "roadkill damage" - that it's not really gradable.
