All three are Japanese 50 sen notes from the WWII period. Top two are the same type, dated Year 19 of Emperor Hirohito - 1943. The date is indicated by the five characters running down at the far right, beneath the bird.
The bottom one is older, Year 13 (1938); this time the date is the five characers to the left of Mount Fuji. Interestingly, the Imperial Year date is also given; the long string of characters running down the right side of the note read "Year 2598 since the First Emperor".

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
