Some foreign currency found in my parents' house

[Radon]

I found these among the stuff in my parents' house, which we've been cleaning out. The Bolivian note has a date from 1928. Others bills I suspect are from post-war Japan, due to the English writing. Any help in determining where and when they are from would be much appreciated. Any idea of their value?

Thanks!View attachment currency.pdf

This is all very common and very worn SO I do not think it has much value other than it belonged to someone in your family. ones with tears or holes (even thumb tack holes) are the kiss of death to a collector. Did you find any other war time keepsakes medals uniforms knives etc...? Those could be a whole different story! Post them if you have them.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't been doing this long and I didn't realize that pdf's wouldn't show up on the page. Thanks to vpnavy for the help on showing the pictures. Thanks to mackaydon for the link, and to trdking for the input. I'll see what else I can share with the group!

My grandpa fought in WWI. I'd have to look up where he served. My dad was in the Army after WWII, but before Korea. I'm not sure where these bills came from. My parents aren't around anymore to ask.

The upper right banknote is a Philippine banknote from 1944 during the Philippines hyperinflation time 1944 to 1945 and is worth around 25 cents. The denomination is called Japanese government-issued Philippine fiat peso. The other two to left is also Japanese government-issued Philippine fiat peso banknotes and are from 1942 and worth around 10 cents each. The lower right banknote is issued by the Japanese ruler Takeuchi Sukune. It is a 1 Yen from 1943 and worth about 50 cents. I couldn't find anything about the Bolivian banknote but I hope you got some information.
