my apologies for the poor pictures, but I had to do this in a rush. I have no idea as to what I have, so please feel free to chime in.

Well I spot a Jo Page £5 B334 reference note, which is no great value ($10-20?) A 1914 German imperial 20 Reichsmark note (unsure on value)

1943 French 20 francs (about $10-15?) Not sure on the other French one, whats the denomination?

1943 Belgium 100 francs... (uncirculated is about $20 so this one much less)

Last note on the first page: Germany 1 mark, 1914. Value: zero.
Bad condition and taped, it's series 504 or 604 (I can't tell) - not of the somewhat more valuable subtype.

First note on this page: Germany 50,000,000,000 mark, 1923.
There are subtypes of this as well, which one would have to check, but I'm guessing it's most likely worth very little in this condition.

Last note in the first post on this page: Germany 100,000 mark, 1923.
This is the double-serial, Reichsbank print, no-T (on some notes there is a black letter T above the serial number) subtype. That's the basic one.
The note is in average condition and may be worth a dollar or two.

So nothing to mention it sounds like. Thanks for the look.

You have one more Chinese note (with an image of a silver coin)...
I'd have that one identified before chucking them, just in case.
Perhaps a better picture will help?

Without having my catalog with me, I'll post what I can find on banknoteworld. I can't confirm catalog numbers but they're usually right on that site.
Unfortunately, any tape marks on the notes significantly reduce their value. I'll guess prices based on what I see them for at my LCS or dealers at shows, but I would recommend someone give their opinion on prices as well.

Here goes nothing - hope this helps!

1st post:
South Vietnam 500 Dong 1964, P-22 (under $1)
Can't see enough of the other note to tell but it appears Chinese as there is a "2 mace and 7 candareens" coin on the right of obverse? Could you repost that one?

2nd post:
UK/Great Britain/England 5 pounds 1970s-1980s depending on signature, P-378 (at least $8 in circ condition?)
Germany 20 Reichsmark 1914, P-46 (unless unc, no significant value)

3rd post:
Belgium 100 Francs/20 Belgas 1941, P-112? (I've never seen this note - I would look it up in the catalog as it could be somewhat valueable)
Edit: quick ebay check doesn't look like they're selling for much unfortunately, but BV may still be decent

4th post:
France 20 Francs 1940s P-100 (no significant value but might check the book - some French notes have really high BV)
France 50 Francs 1930s/1940s? P-81 or P-85? (check in the book, I can't see enough of the note to know the year)

5th post:
Luxembourg 1 Franc 1910s, not sure of catalog number (definitely look it up in the book)
Edit: $10-$20 per a quick ebay check?
Germany 1 Mark 1914? P-50, P-51, or P-52 (likely little value)

6th post (top of this page):
Germany 50 Milliard (50 Billion) Mark 1923, not sure of catalog number (little value in that condition likely)
Chihuahua (a state in Mexico) 1914/1915 20 Pesos, not sure of catalog number (depending on condition, $3-$15 probably?)
Chihuahua 1914/1915 1 Peso, not sure of catalog number (depending on condition, $2-$8 probably?)
Germany 100,000 Mark 1923, not sure of catalog number ($1 or so?)

Thanks for all that twinkinator! I'll post a better pick of the Chinese note later.

I've utilized plenty of knowledge of others from the forum, so it's due time I returned the favor. Glad I could help! :)

I'll be watching for that Chinese note - if you could post both sides of it, that would be ideal!

I've found it described as:
China, Kwangtung Currency Bureau, $1, 1904-1907
but please wait for confimation from someone who actually knows something about these.

The top line of the first picture says "by using this ticket, you can exchange it for 1 yin yuan" which basically means it's a silver certificate from the era.
The middle text (vertical) is legal information of where it can be used, how to exchange it, etc. Legal jargon.
The far left vertical line on the reverse is 1905 (Guang Xu thirty first year).
The bottom line on the reverse of the note is exchangeable for a unit that is now equivalent to 26.57 grams of silver (the coin pictured on the front).

The obverse (second picture) is the coin you can exchange it for and the denomination "1 yuan". All credit to a native speaking friend of mine as I can't read any of this on my own :)


No luck on prices yet, but here's a link from an auction (no price visible though).

Looks like S2385-94 according to this link.

Edit - so I agree with DL20K, China, Kwangtung Currency Bureau, 1 Yuan, 1905, probably S-2385 of some variety.

Just a bit more information on the Bank of England J B Page £5 note. This has a number-number-letter prefix so would date from the early 1970s. These notes were replaced by smaller-sized notes in 1990, and are only worth over face value if in absolutely crisp Uncirculated condition - though you may get a little more on ebay. Although now demonetised, you can still exchange this note for face value at the Bank of England in London.

No problem! I'm curious what that last Chinese note is worth if anyone can look it up in a catalog? I don't have the special edition book as I always bring those notes to my LCS and borrow theirs.

The Spink auction link posted by Twinkinator shows that note sold for HK$11,000.00 or about US$1,417.00. Your note is in a little lower grade but you would still be looking at US$750.00-1,000.00.
