[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 342125, member: 4703"]Your notes are a Chinese "Hell" note and a US Military Payment Certificate. The Hell notes are intended to be buried with, or burned in honor of, departed relatives, so they will have some spending money in the next world. The MPC notes were used for military payrolls in foreign areas to (hopefully, but not really) cut down on black market money exchanges. They were issued in denominations from 5¢ to $20. The design of yours looks familiar, so it may be a Korean War era note. The coins above your US silver dollars are a Chinese Cash Coin on the left and something unidentifiable from your dark picture. The 50 centimes is French, but without a picture of the other side it's pretty tough to identity more fully. I don't know enough about US currency to hazard a guess whether your three $1 notes have any numismatic value. Your US silver coins are all relatively common, and probably worth their melt value as scrap silver.[/QUOTE]
