Maybe just a coke from a vending machine?

Hello and welcome to Numista!

 

The answer to your question is “yes.”  One or the other depending.  Looking at just the last two:

Third one is a Chinese “Junk” dollar.  It's here in the catalog. N#16370

The last one is a Chinese “Fat Man” dollar. It's here:  N#3849

 

You can see the values listed on those pages.  However, both of those coins are heavily counterfeited.  If yours are real then steak. If not then hamburger.

 

First check to see if they're magnetic.  Real ones (and some fakes) aren't.

The second one is a Taiwan 5 New Dollar coin.  It's currently worth US $0.16.  Maybe could get $1 on ebay.

the first one is a stainless steel war time lire, maybe worth $1.
