Notes From Inherited Collection

My pre-1960 Pick is pretty old, so the values are pretty irrelevant (I suppose the values are relative, rather than absolute), but here's what I can figure out:

Note 1: Japan 100 yen, 1953 series. CV in 1986 was $2 in Unc, 75¢ in EF. The 100 yen note seems to have been replaced by a 100 yen circulating coin in 1957.

Note 2: Japanese-Occupied Philippines 5 centavos, WWII period. Such notes issued for occupied countries are collectively known as Japanese Invasion Money, or JIM. The 5 centavo note is very common; 20¢ in Unc in the old catalogue.

Note 3: Early 20th century Chinese Republic banknotes are an extremely complex series, due to the decentralised nature of the finances of the Republic and the various warlords and factions exercising defacto control over various parts of the country. Many of the smaller issuers have ended up in the "Specialised issues" volume of Pick. The Bank of Communications" was, however, one of the larger issuers and is listed in the main Pick. The 10 yuan note of the 1935 series seems to be fairly common: 60¢ in Unc.

Note 4: Spain 5 pesetas 1951. Reasonably common ($1.50 in Unc), probably nothing to write home about in that condition.

Usually, it's very easy to identify japanese pre-WWII/WWII notes from post-WWII notes. Your 100 Yen has the 'Nippon Ginko' (meaning Bank of Japan) written in western characters, making it a definite post-WWII note. All the japanese notes (excluding JIM notes) that I've seen from the WWII-era, all of them has almost all the writing in Kanji...
