Do you know what country these 2 bills in the middle are from? No English on them whatsoever & no years either.

Thanks

Bottom one is Korean, used during occupation (issued by Japan), worth 10 yen or 10 won, but more customarily called Korean Yen because of Japanese occupation.

Top one is 5 yen silver-exchangeable note, one of the earlier ones issued by the Bank of Japan. But, the front picture would always help, too.

hmm.... I see the top one now, but not before.

These two are both "occupational" money, Korean Yen issued by the Bank of Korean, under direction of the Empire Japan. One is 5 Yen and the other is 10.

Great notes actually you don't really see Korean Yen in such low denomination and good quality!

No one seems to have commented on the first and last note. First is from Spain (Espana) and the last from the Netherlands (Nederland). Both are fairly common and can be found in Krause World Bank Notes.
