These are some old bills that I have found. Anyone have any idea on their respective countries/values?   |

The top one is North Korean (the Chinese characters at left of the portrait side read "North Korea Central Bank", pre-dating the introduction of the name "Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea"), denomination 5 Won.
The lower one is German (Reichsbank), 10 Reichsmark. I happen to like that particular series of designs, because of the "medallion" effect (achieved by a special form of fine-line engraving).

Check if the Korean one has a water mark, there's a lot of modern reprints of that one. If its got a water mark its authentic.

Actually don't worry about it, upon closer inspection your note is P-9, whereas the modern reprinted note is P-10. Yours is definitely authentic.

the coin I believe is from Israel not sure what coin but I recognise the Hebrew from another coin I have. no idea of value, but I think to be honest, with most coins made after WW2 being made of non precious metals, there usually cheap. But I could be wrong, might want to second opinion that. as the others have said, north korea and Germany, the second even has german money wrote on it :p

Somehow the first picture of the paper money got replaced with a picture of a coin. You have to be careful about that, with this forum software!
But from looking on-line, it appears those North Korean notes sell in perfect condition (which yours is not) for a few dollars.

Sorry they aren't worth anything, but the look cool. You could always frame them and make up stories to tell about them. So, were they a relative or were they someone who lived in the house prior to you? I like how someone just wrote German Money on it...I know it makes things worth less, but it kinda take you back to a time where someone was just excited to bring it back to show family (or some other random reason).
