I have 3 of these coins and haven't a clue which country they are from.

There doesn't seem to be any dates on them.

If somebody knows what they are, I would be grateful.

Those are Chinese. They looked like that up until about the begininning half of the last century. The writing will tell a Chinese reader the province name and the ruler. Most are very common and have very little value.

China, Board of Public Revenue Mint in Beijing. I would have to see an image of the obverse with the emperor's name, but these are most likely from the reign of Chien Lung(1736-1795), they are valued at about 15p each. They were made in the billions, and I personally have many many dozens of them with the rest of my voluminous Chinese collection.
