Second coin is from The Sudan, denomination 10 Millim, brassy, dated 1975.
Third coin is Egypt, King Farouk (the famous coin collector, no less). 5 Piastres, dated 1939, 83.3% silver, ASW 0.1875 Troy ounce. Struck at the British Royal Mint.
At one time, the Coins from Sudan and Syria and even some from Egypt look very similar. Some kind of briefly lived political union. Coins from the Sudan show up here frequently enough.
The first coin is from the Chinese Empire, the Qian Long emperor, 1736 to 1796. Some of his coins are quite desirable, but I am not enough of an expert.

Sudan looks to be 1978.
