Hi I need identification on the following items. I'm not sure they are coins or decorative items, just trying my luck here. They were found in a construction site in my country, Malaysia.

Hello and welcome.

None of them are actual coins.

#1 is a square good luck amulet, with the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, the Eight Trigrams of Taoism, and other symbols.

#2 is what is loosely termed a "marriage coin".

#3 and #4 are replicas of ancient Chinese knife and spade coins.

As they are replicas (or more properly fantasies) - just a couple of pounds.
