Chinese coins. Fake(probably) or real.

6 posts
Looking for information. After some initial searches I tried a magnet and they did not stick to any of the 3. I also weighed them. None were in the low 20's but also weren't spot on the necessary weights, so I looked up what(if any) metal lost could occur. The coins were off by a gram or so. Any info is helpful.

I believe all 3 are fake
Im sure for the last 2 that they are fake
What makes you think they're fake? (Not disagreeing, just want to learn)

They have wrong characters/lettering.
