Exclamation Fake or Real?

Hello all,
I'm trying to figure out two things about these coins. First, are any of them real? Second, are they silver and is there any way I can test them at home without purchasing any kind of special kit? I bought these coins in Singapore about 12 years ago for around 30.00 bucks. I've done a little research and believe some of the foreign coins may be the real deal and definitely believe the US coin is a replica/fake. Also, when I run these under my detector they show one notch about the penny on the ACE. I've run similar size silver dollars under the ACE and it shows as a dollar so this little test makes me believe they possibly may not be silver. I scratch the replica/fake US coin to see the underlying metal but it still looks silver in the scratch. The coins feel heavy in weight comparable to a large silver dollar. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I'm open to any advice you may have.
