Hello. I appreciate your time with this. I have these old coins from china. Two are jade, the other is metal. Here is a photo of all of them. I don't know what they are and would appreciate your help. Thank you.

These are more likely fantasy pieces or decorating jewelery from souvenir shops, not much numismatic value but rather keepsake. IMHO!

The voided pieces (the two with multiple holes in them) and the large cash with the pictorial reverse are all "good luck charm" type pieces. The knife and the two spade coins are replicas of ancient Chinese proto-coins.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

What a remarkably accurate and nice answer to a question!
