Thanks in advance for your help. I just don't (personally) have enough clues to go on. I'm sure y'all will nail these in no time flat.

Hi CelticKnot.
The smaller one is a 10 mongo note from Mongolia & the bottom is a 10 kip from Laos (1975ish)

No problem CelticKnot, those Laos banknotes from the 1970's are pretty nice.
Very pictorial, and a product of their time, many have scenes of the Pathet Lao Revolutionary activities, on the reverse of your 10 Kip are guerrilla troops planting boobytraps in the scrub.
Good notes to collect, fairly cheap, and they tell a story.

I enjoy that about currency in general... the art/vignettes/stories.

In this case it's also fun to say "mongo" and brings to mind...

So after a little more research to get the detail on these for my records and display:

The 10 mongo is a 1993, P49
The 10 kip is an undated issue (probably sometime 1976ish) from the State of Lao (Pathet Lao) and is P20a

Both notes are very inexpensive in UNC condition.

-it's one of the best discoveries about getting into world notes: it's that the costs are laughable compared to my "home & native land."

Governor William J. Le Petomane should have used his authority to get a mint put in Rock Ridge.
