The top coin is an Indian "Native States" coin; it's not technically "ancient", but it is old. The script appears to be Arabic/Farsi. It might be a later-period jital, but I'm not sure - I'm terrible at identifying these, especially from fuzzy pictures. We've got a few Indian States experts here on the forum; they should be able to have a better idea. The second piece is not a coin. The side with writing on it has been copied of an old British East India Company coin, while the other side shows Hindu deities. This is a "temple token", or religious charm. This recent thread has a similar piece, also with a fictitious date. The third piece is also not a coin. It's copied off a British India silver rupee of king Edward VII, but the obverse reads "PRIEEMEDAL" twice instead of the king's titles, and I think the reverse says much the same thing in the centre instead of "one rupee". Given that it seems to have once been attached to something, then broken off again, it was probably originally made as a piece of jewellery or ornamentation. 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

All three items appear to be from India, however only the first one seems like a coin to me.
The first one is a state coin, but I cannot identify which one.
The second has an East India Company face, but never minted a reverse with such an Indian Temple theme. Most likely this is a temple token.
The third coin is a counterfeit British India coin; the portrait is IMO Edward VII. The reverse belongs to George V. The coin is poorly made, making me think it was two copied coins done in a casting.

The first coin is a later Mughal issue. Both the images should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise to be able to read. That on right side has a date, 1185 (AH). This corresponds to Shah Alam -II. The pattern is similar to Arkot state coins of those times. Probably it is an Arkot issue or is from Machhlipatan which is less likely. But the worn out legend on the left image shows traces of legend suggestive of "Machhli patan". Nawab of Arkot used to issue coins in the name of Shah Alam. So it is possible that it is such an issue.
Second one is rightly identified by Sap. Similar temple tokens are still easily available.

Suzi,
Please see Sap's correct identification of the middle coin. It's a good idea to see what knowledgable people have posted before venturing a guess.
