If anyone can be of some assistance, I'd appreciate it... if not, no worries, just enjoy the pretty pictures that follow.

Here's the deal: A family member has a stash of currency - much in bad (bad, bad) condition, source unknown. Some of these may be reproductions. Can anyone identify some of these? Does anything look remarkable? I can take better photos of anything upon request. We just don't know what is special in this stash... some confederate, some American, some Mexican, 1 Canadian.

Thanks for looking. For reference in the comments, each photo is assigned a letter:

Beautiful Notes, I wish I could help on the Values. I tried to buy a stash of off a man last week at the Flea Market that he got from an old house, but it was too much for my Pocketbook. Thanks for the Photo's. Maybe he will be hungry this weekend

Unfortunately, most of the Confederate States notes and the Texas note are on the crutchwilliams list of bogus notes - they're replicas. The only Confed note that isn't on the list is the 1 dollar, Set H.

The Chihuahua notes are likely to be genuine - until a few years ago, these were cheap and plentiful. The Mexican, Canadian and US notes are also likely to be real, though the ink on some of them seems to have run, as if they went through a dry-cleaning or had some other exposure to solvent. The Guatemalan note (last note, set K) appears genuine, but not worth much in that condition (listed in Special Pick as #101). I can't speak for the others.
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

Thanks sap -- You've confirmed what I suspected: all the confederates (except the 1) are replicas. The One note is absolutely infused with residue from the PVC holders these were in. It feels as if it were printed on plastic. These notes were all much nicer before they were stored for their preservation. So sad.
